Dry mouth and seniors
More
seniors today in the Taylors area 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, Dr. Goodlett is seeing an increase of cavities on the root surfaces of these patients.
Anyone on a medication causing a dry mouth effect should be encouraged to visit Total Care Dentistry of Greenville for regular dental cleanings and topical fluoride rinses.
For more information regarding dental problems of the elderly, please call our Total Care Dentistry of Greenville at (864) 244-1494.
