Geriatric Dentistry
Oral health is very crucial in
everyone's life, and becomes more crucial to individuals as they age. In
Kalyani Nagar, Pune, at the Speciality Dental Clinic, our elderly dental
services are conducted professionally, especially catering for senior citizens.
Our clinic, under the supervision of Dr. Smita Wagh, has experience in offering
safe treatment procedures to enable the elderly patients to maintain healthy,
functional, and comfortable teeth.
What is Geriatric Dentistry?
Geriatric dentistry, also termed
senior dental care, is the branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis
and management of diseases affecting the teeth in the elderly population. Some
of these conditions include gum disease, tooth loss, dry mouth, and wear on the
fillings, crowns, and other dental restorations become more common as a person
grows older. We comprehend these challenges and bring forward patient-centric
solutions for oral and systemic health.
Dental Problems That We Often See in Elderly Patients
● Tooth Loss and Dentures: We provide both full and partial
dentures and, if desired, implant-supported dentures that resemble real teeth.
● Dry Mouth (Xerostomia): Cared for professionally and
carefully to prevent harm to any of the oral structures as well as to combat
the process of caries.
● Gum Disease (Periodontitis): Non-invasive and invasive
procedures used to combat inflammation and maintain oral health.
● Worn or Broken Teeth: Other restorative procedures,
including placing crowns and bridges to reconstruct teeth to fulfil their
normal functions and esthetic requirements.
● Oral Cancer Screenings: This means checkups at every
session, and includes thorough examinations that could detect the problem
early.
