What Is Geriatric Dentistry?

Geriatric Dentistry, or Dentistry for Senior Citizens, focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of dental issues that commonly occur with age. As people live longer and retain their teeth for more years, age-related concerns like tooth decay, gum disease, dry mouth, and tooth mobility become increasingly

Tooth Decay and Cavities

As we age, the enamel naturally wears down, and conditions like dry mouth and gum recession increase the risk of tooth decay.

Treatment Options:

  • Dental Fillings (for minor cavities)
  • Root Canal Therapy (for deeper decay)
  • Dental Crowns (for structural reinforcement)
  • Partial or Full Dentures (for multiple missing teeth)
  • Dental Implants (for permanent tooth replacement)

Benefits:

  • Preserves natural teeth wherever possible
  • Prevents spread of decay to adjacent teeth

Gum Disease (Gingivitis & Periodontitis)

Gum problems are one of the most prevalent oral health issues in older adults.
Inflammation (gingivitis) and bone loss (periodontitis) can cause tooth mobility and eventual tooth loss if untreated.

Treatment Options:

  • Professional Cleaning & Scaling
  • Root Planing (deep cleaning)
  • Laser Gum Therapy
  • Surgical Correction in advanced cases

Benefits:

  • Preserves natural teeth wherever possible
  • Prevents spread of decay to adjacent teeth

Loose Teeth and Tooth Mobility

Loose teeth are often caused by bone loss or advanced gum disease.
We offer stabilizing and restorative options to preserve remaining teeth and improve function.

Treatment Options:

  • Splinting of loose teeth
  • Periodontal treatment to control infection
  • Crowns or Bridges to support weakened teeth
  • Implants or Dentures if replacement is necessary

Benefits:

  • Restores bite function
  • Prevents tooth loss progression
  • Improves overall comfort while eating and speaking

FAQ

Aging increases the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss — timely care maintains comfort and function.

At least twice a year, or more frequently if there are ongoing dental or gum concerns.

Depending on severity — splinting, gum therapy, or replacement with implants/dentures can be done.

Modern dentures are lightweight, well-fitted, and designed for maximum comfort.

We recommend saliva substitutes, hydration, and gentle oral care products to relieve discomfort.
