Guide to Senior Dental Care

It can be easy to overlook oral health care until tooth or gum pain becomes overwhelming. However, dental care is an important element of health, and for seniors, it becomes essential. Poor oral health can increase the risk of pneumonia, poorly controlled diabetes and heart issues. Additionally, the discomfort associated with tooth pain can make it hard for seniors to get proper nutrition, and embarrassment about the state of a person's teeth can lead to social isolation. This link has information on oral health risks for seniors and how older adults can manage their own dental care. It also has information on symptoms to look out for, when to go to a dentist and ways to help pay for dental visits.
