for SeniorsWith obvious changes to our bodies as we age, we must also realize that there are changes to our teeth and gums as well. Teeth can be stained from caffeine consumption, tobacco use, or plaque. The usage of certain medications can result in the reduced flow of the necessary saliva through our mouths. As fillings get older, they might weaken or crack. Gum disease or root decay may go unnoticed. And any bleeding or redness in gums or loose teeth requires immediate medical attention. Regular check-ups will allow us to keep on top of any of these conditions. We have products and procedures that will combat these conditions before they result in major problems.
Professional Cleaning
Plaque and tartar can accumulate on teeth over an extended period of time. Plaque can be removed with daily brushing, but sometimes it hardens into tartar, which is not easily removed. When tartar collects below the gumline and/or on the surface of teeth, you are risking problems that could lead to infections and tooth loss. Modern research links untreated gum infections to serious medical conditions like diabetes, heart problems, and strokes. Please make an appointment with our dental hygienist to have a professional cleaning twice a year for overall good health.
