The American Dental Association has created informative videos called Ask the Dentist. Here is their video on: 'How Can I Help My Elderly Parent Brush Her Teeth?'
With the American population living longer, seniors' oral health has become an important issue, as has the widespread problem of elder abuse. Every year more than 2.5 million older Americans may be victims of elder abuse, and in some cases dentists serve as the first line of defense, according to a report in the May/June 2005 issue of General Dentistry, the clinical, peer-reviewed journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD).

Senior
Dental Care is Different
As we grow older, signs of age appear on our teeth and gums
as well as our bodies. After years of caffeine or tobacco
consumption, teeth will no longer be their whitest. Fillings
often loosen over time, making it easy for decay to set into
a tooth. At the onset of gum disease, treatment should begin
immediately to keep your natural teeth and overall good
health. If you take medications, sometimes the necessary
flow of saliva through your mouth is diminished. With
regular check-ups, we can provide timely solutions to all
these conditions before they become big problems. We
encourage the continuance of daily dental hygiene and proper
nutrition to take care of your oral health. If you
experience bleeding when brushing or flossing, please
contact us immediately.
