When we look into the eyes of a senior citizen we see the history they endured over the years and see how far they have come, inspiring us each day to appreciate our heritage. From wars to families, life takes its toll on our bodies but it shouldna��t have to show through your smile. This is why CADH is celebrating Senior Appreciation Month by rewarding each senior citizen with 50% off oral care all month.
Throughout the years many will experience staining, tooth loss, root decay, gum disease, denture-induced stomatitis, uneven jawbones, and dry mouth. Most cases stemming from age, arthritis, or from certain medications taken over time. Unfortunately, poor dental hygiene, especially in seniors, can lead to many health complications such as infections which can be more serious in older individuals than those younger.
Fortunately there are simple ways to prevent such issues. For example, brushing and flossing at least twice a day will prevent food and plaque from accumulating and causing issues such as periodontal disease or dental caries. Seniors suffering from arthritis or poor dexterity will find it very beneficial to invest in an electric tooth brush. This will maximize the life of your teeth, gums, and overall health. Those with removable dentures should take them out at night to allow the gums to breathe and gently brush your gums to retain a healthy ridge to support your dentures. Also, you will maximize the life of your removable prosthetics by keeping up with maintenance. Last, but definitely not least, keeping up with routine dental cleanings will tie everything together and help ensure a healthy smile.
So let this month be a tribute and help lead a healthy strong future by taking advantage of routine dental care at half the price for seniors while maintaining healthy smile.
