# Geriatric Dentistry: Why the Dental Care For Old People Must Be Approached Differently?

The development of age is accompanied by the growth of teeth. The enamel becomes thin, the gums start receding, the quantity of saliva becomes less, etc, are some problems. Geriatric dentistry offers gentler, safer, and more personalised care to older people in terms of dental services.
The idea of giving proper care to elderly people at Dentity Dental is one of the chief aims, based on the ever-growing ageing population in Kolkata. The founder of Dentity Dental Dr Saikat Paul, and his team of experienced dentists treat patients effectively and affordably.
What Is Different in Senior Dental Care?
Various problems associated with the age factor related to the dental aspects include:
A) Xerostomia induced by conventional drug therapy.
B) Gum disease, which increases more rapidly with the growing age of the person.
C) The tooth becomes thin and decayed due to years of chewing.
D) Loss of oral health due to mobility impairment.
E) Dentures that do not fit properly, and cause discomfort or mouth sores.
These problems no longer apply to dental health as they affect the chewing, digestion, speech, and overall confidence.
Physical examinations are very crucial during old age.
Check-ups of the teeth every six months can detect a lot of problems before the situation becomes an emergency. Regular visits can provide the following assistance:
1) Monitoring gum health
2) Denture fit checking
3) Showing the proper technique of brushing.
4) Oral cancer screening
5) Helps in case of tooth movement.
Solutions when working with elderly patients.
1) Provide more comfortable and more flexible dentures.
2) Bone health-based adult senior implants.
3) Treatment programs on stress reduction in patients with diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure issues.
4) Home-based care practices that can be easily monitored by caretakers.
5) The treatment plan consists of the medical history, medication, and comfort levels.
Where do you find the right place to get care for seniors?
Only an elderly friendly clinic that understands the importance of time, patience, and dealing with the aged patients with gentleness can serve the purpose. This is what Dentity Dental provides with the application of contemporary technology, skilled personnel, as well as the location, which is distributed throughout Kolkata and West Bengal.
