Dental Plus+ Dental Group feels that
good habits of effective daily brushing, diet, and use of fluoride will
help the aging person adapt to changing conditions. Reduced salivary
flow and addition of medications will affect oral health dramatically.
Changes of the teeth and gums: "Dry Mouth" may develop: Saliva is useful to lubricate, wash away plaque, and neutralize the acid produced by plaque. Flow of saliva can be reduced by a medical disorder or be a side effect of antihistamine, decongestants, pain killers or diuretics. The build-up of plaque will accelerate tooth decay. There will also be more gum infection which will cause a loss of bone support for the teeth. Poorly-fitting or poorly-cleaned dentures, illness, and some medications increase the severity of the problem. For more information regarding dental problems of the elderly, please call Dental Plus+ Dental Group at (626) 795-6855 today. |
