Dental Care For Seniors... Dental Plus+ Dental Group Can Help You
George K. Koutsoukos, D.D.S.
Prosthodontics
Changes of the teeth and gums:
Dental Plus+ Dental Group has noted that teeth will darken because of long-term
exposure to plaque and changes in the dentin within the tooth. The gums
may recede and uncover the roots. Exposed roots will be darker than the
enamel part of the tooth and are prone to decay. Fillings can decay and
darken, too, as they weaken over time.
"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.
