It’s never late for a great smile…

​Advancing age puts many seniors at risk for a number of oral health problems, such as:

​

• Darkened teeth. 

• Dry mouth caused by reduced saliva flow, sometimes due to medication side effects.

• Diminished sense of taste: dentures can contribute to this sensory loss.

• Root decay. 

• Tooth loss: Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss.

• Uneven jawbone: This is caused by tooth loss and then not replacing missing teeth. This allows the rest of the teeth to drift and shift into open spaces.

​

Regular checks with the dentist will help preventing any of these problems.
