What are Various Dental Problems Faced by Aged People?
As per our studies, advancing age can put many seniors at risk of a number of oral health problems. There are some to consider.
- Darker teeth: Caused, in part, by a lifetime of ingesting foods and drinks that cause stains, as well as alterations in dentin, the bone-like substance that sits beneath the tooth enamel. Produced by a weakening of the outer layer of enamel that allows the dentin, which is a darker yellow color, to shine through. Your dentist should examine any teeth that have become discolored, as this could indicate a more serious issue
- Mouth feeling parched: This is caused by decreased salivary flow, which can be brought on by adverse effects from medications, certain illnesses such as Sjogren’s syndrome, and cancer therapies that involve radiation to the head and neck region. Many drugs might induce dry mouth.
- Reduced sense of taste: While increasing age impairs the sense of taste, diseases, medication facilities, and other dental care also contribute to this sensory loss.
- Tooth decay: As per our studies, this is caused due to the exposure of the tooth to decay due to acids. The tooth roots become exposed to gum tissue problems from the tooth. Roots do not have any enamel to protect them and are mainly damaged near the crown part of the tooth.
- Thrush: This is a type of oral disease caused due to drugs that affect the immune system of our body. It can also lead to fungus problems inside your mouth.
- Gum issues: This problem is mainly caused by plaque. It is mainly caused by the food left in the teeth, by the use of tobacco products, poorly fitting bridges and dental care, and some other diseases such as anemia, cancer, and diabetes issues.
What are Our Preventive Care Process and Restorative Treatment Structure?
Our Senior Whole Health services are built on the foundation of preventive care. Dental disorders can be avoided, and early detection of difficulties can be facilitated by routine cleanings and examinations. Seniors can maintain good dental health in between appointments by following our team’s individualized guidance on oral care.
For seniors who have lost teeth or have dental problems, restorative procedures are crucial. Bridges, crowns, fillings, and dentures are just a few of the choices we provide. With the aim of helping elders eat, speak, and smile with confidence, our restorative procedures restore both functionality and aesthetics.
