Dental Care For Seniors...
 

The good habits of effective daily brushing, and proper diet will help the aging person adapt to changing conditions. Reduced salivary flow and addition of medications will affect oral health dramatically.

In response to many medications, a person may develop dry mouth. Flow of saliva can be reduced by a medical disorder or be a side effect of antihistamine, decongestants, pain killers or diuretics, and other medication. Saliva is useful to lubricate, wash away plaque, and neutralize the acid produced by plaque.

For more information regarding dental problems of the elderly, please call our office.
