Seniors and dry mouth
 

More seniors today in the Edmonton 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. Gibb 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 see to visit Heritage Oak Dental Clinic for regular dental cleanings and topical fluoride rinses.  We can also make recommendations on different ways of making the problem easier to deal with.

For more information regarding dental problems of the elderly, please call our Heritage Oak Dental Clinic at 780 434-9442.
