Oral health becomes increasingly important as individuals age. Elderly patients often face unique challenges that require tailored oral care practices.
Dry Mouth (Xerostomia):
Common among older adults, often due to medications or health conditions. Saliva is essential for washing away food particles and neutralizing acids, so dry mouth increases the risk of decay and gum disease.
Gum Disease:
Seniors are more susceptible to gum disease due to factors such as medications, compromised immune systems, and lack of regular dental visits.
Dentures and Oral Appliances:
Many older adults wear dentures, which require special care to avoid infections and maintain oral hygiene.
Routine Dental Care:
Regular dental visits are crucial for monitoring oral health and addressing issues like decay or gum disease early on.
Elderly individuals must prioritize oral health through regular checkups, proper care of dental appliances, and managing dry mouth to maintain a healthy smile.
