Quality On-Site Geriatric Dental Care
Geriatric Dentistry in Des Plaines & the Chicago-Area
We all get older–it’s a fact of life. Just as our physical health can change as we get older, so does our oral health. Because of this, it is important to pay close attention to the health of your teeth and gums, even if it means special care through geriatric dentistry services. Through these special services, we can ensure your health is kept up to its highest standard.
Aging and Dental Health
As you get older you do not lose your teeth; that is just a myth we can’t seem to get rid of. Proper oral health care ensures you will keep your teeth for a lifetime. The nerves in your teeth also become smaller as you age. This means your teeth are less sensitive to cavities or other problems. Without regular dental exams, problems can go undiagnosed until it is too late for proper treatment.
For elderly individuals, contact our dental office for a geriatric dentist in Des Plaines. And remember, a healthy mouth can make you look and feel healthy for a lifetime.
