Senior dental care
Elderly people may face a range of oral concerns, including teeth discoloration, sensitivity, and root decay and gum disease. You can keep your smile healthier by following a routine of effective oral care and attending periodic check-up appointments for advice and treatment, our doctors can take care of the problem at its starting when it is treatable with simple treatments. If you suffer from arthritis or the limited use of your hands, we can assist you by adapting your tooth brush for easy use. Toothbrush handles can be lengthened to help you grip and guide to brush better.
For those who have dexterity problems and cannot use a manual toothbrush, you may find an electric toothbrush easier. Electric brushes can substantially increase effectiveness and are extremely effective in stimulating the blood flow to the gums. We can help you in choosing your oral health armamentarium. We can also offer handy dental floss holders to help clean in between the teeth and around the gum-line.
Apart from that we accept all major insurances and senior care plans through Medicare. Among other benefits, regular check-ups with daily brushing and flossing can protect you from the most common problems associated with an older smile.
