Dry Mouth...
 More seniors
today have retained their own teeth, avoiding the trauma of removable
dentures. Many are on medications creating dryness of the mouth as a
side effect. Without the natural benefit of saliva to decrease bacterial action, we see an increase of cavities on the root surfaces of these patients.
Anyone on a medication causing a dry mouth effect should be encouraged to see their dentist for regular dental cleanings and topical fluoride rinses.
For more information regarding dental problems of the elderly, please call our office.
