Dental care for seniors in Bancroft, Ontario
You are never too old to have healthy teeth and gums.
Dental Care for the elderly
The health of the teeth and mouth of elderly patients is a specialty at Park View Dental.
Canadians of all ages can enjoy good oral health and benefit from regular professional dental care. Provided you look after them, your teeth and gums will look good and stay healthy for life.
As you age, however, you may need to make a few changes in the way you care for your teeth and gums. If you need advice on looking after your teeth and gums, or those of a dependent relative or friend, your dentist and the Canadian Dental Association can provide you with valuable information.
You are never too old to have healthy teeth and gums. And you are never old enough to stop seeing your dentist! Your dentist wants to make sure you maintain healthy teeth and gums for your whole life.
Flossing & Brushing – Along with a regular check up, brushing and flossing are the most important things you can do for your dental health.
Denture Care – You need to care for false teeth and partial dentures as carefully as you would look after natural teeth. At your regular check ups, we will assess the fit of your dentures to make sure there are no concerns.
Tips for Caregivers – You may find yourself looking after the health of someone else. This person may be family, or a close friend. There is a lot you can do to help when this person needs mouth care and it is important that good oral hygiene is maintained even when someone is unable to do it for themselves.
The Check Up – Everybody needs regular dental checkups. The reason is simple: even if you brush and floss every day, you cannot see all the parts of your own mouth. Even if you have no teeth, regular check ups are still needed to perform soft tissue exams and oral cancer screening.
