As we age, it is important not to let dental health fall by the wayside. Senior dental problems can range from dry mouth to periodontal disease, and these issues need to be taken seriously.
Common oral health problems for the elderly
Senior citizens are at risk for a number of oral health problems, including:
- Darkened teeth
- Dry mouth
- Diminished sense of taste
- Root decay
- Gum disease
