Tooth decay and tooth loss are common in senior adults, especially if they have poor oral health. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, their teeth can remain healthy and last a lifetime. It also helps maintain their overall health.
Brushing twice a day with a dentist-recommended toothpaste and regular flossing are good practices of good oral care. Using a fluoride mouthwash also protects the entire mouth against cavities and bacteria.
Senior adults need to take note that even if they brush and floss their teeth daily, activities like drinking carbonated drinks, eating citrus fruits, and smoking can cause problems with their teeth and gums. These activities need to be minimized, especially if they have sensitive teeth.
For senior adults with physical limitations and who can no longer maintain self-care, they can benefit from home health services in Burbank CA. A caregiver or home health aide can assist them with their oral care routine as well as accompany them to the dentist for their appointment.
