Geriatric dentistry is a crucial branch of dental care that focuses on the specific needs of elderly patients, offering tailored solutions to maintain optimal oral health as they age. Older adults often face challenges such as weakened enamel, increased susceptibility to cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. With age, the likelihood of developing conditions like dementia or arthritis also makes regular dental hygiene more difficult. Geriatric dentists work to address these challenges by providing comprehensive treatments, from preventative care to restorative procedures, and educating patients on effective oral health practices. Ensuring that seniors have access to quality dental care helps to prevent serious complications and promotes overall well-being, allowing them to enjoy a healthier, more comfortable lifestyle.
