Geriatric Dentistry
Geriatrics is the branch of medicine that gives special attention to the medical care of senior citizens. Geriatric dental care attends to the dental problems of seniors. Due to ageing, the elderly find it difficult to maintain dental health.
A few teeth become shaky, get loosened from the roots and fall out. Acids made by bacteria lead to decay of teeth, forming hollow spaces or holes. Reduced secretion of saliva may cause dry mouth and bad breadth. There are many more such problems.
Our facility gives loving care to the elders, providing a separate operatory for them. Routine checkup is done to ensure their normal dental health and function. Periodical consultation and follow-up, prevention of hypersensitivity, replacement of missing teeth and gum strengthening procedures are all carried out in a comfortable and relaxed environment.
