Geriatric dentistry is a specialized branch of dental care dedicated to the oral health of senior citizens. It addresses age-related dental issues such as tooth wear, gum disease, dry mouth, and missing teeth, while considering general health conditions and medications.
        

As we age, several factors — including medications, chronic conditions (like diabetes or hypertension), and decreased saliva flow — can increase the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and oral infections. Geriatric dentistry ensures safe, customized care that supports both dental and overall health.
        

Older adults often experience:

* Tooth decay and cavities
* Gum (periodontal) disease
* Dry mouth (xerostomia)
* Tooth wear or fractures
* Ill-fitting dentures
* Oral cancer risk
* Difficulty chewing due to missing teeth

        

Our geriatric care includes:

* Complete and partial dentures
* Dental implants and implant-supported dentures
* Crown and bridge restorations
* Treatment for dry mouth and gum disease
* Regular dental cleanings and oral cancer screenings
* Minimally invasive treatments for medically compromised patients
        

Yes. Age alone is not a barrier to dental implants. As long as the patient has good general health and sufficient bone density, implants are a reliable option for restoring function and aesthetics.
        

Dry mouth often results from medications or health conditions. It can be managed with:

* Increased water intake
* Sugar-free chewing gums or saliva substitutes
* Avoiding alcohol and caffeine
* Prescription fluoride mouth rinses

        

It’s recommended to schedule dental visits every 6 months or as advised, especially for those wearing dentures or with chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
