Compassionate, Comprehensive & Personalized Dental Care for Seniors
Why Dental Care Is Crucial for Senior Citizens
Oral health plays a vital role in overall well-being, especially in older adults. Poor dental health can lead to pain, difficulty eating, speech problems, infections, and even serious systemic conditions.
As people age, they may experience:
Tooth loss or loosening
Gum disease (periodontitis)
Dry mouth due to medications
Tooth sensitivity and decay
Ill-fitting dentures
Oral infections and sores
Moreover, studies show that poor oral health is linked to diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and respiratory infections, making regular dental care essential for seniors.
At My Dental Clinic, we focus on preventive, restorative, and supportive dental care to help seniors maintain good oral and overall health.
