Senior Dental Care is Different As we get older, our teeth become worn and lose strength. Prior dental work can show the wear of time. There is a greater risk for gum infection, as well. So we check our patients for the indicators – red, swollen, or bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, and loose teeth. After years of caffeine and tobacco consumption, teeth may need professional whitening to return their original luster. Some of your medications will decrease the necessary flow of saliva through your mouth, and we have products that will alleviate this complication. We advocate good nutrition, daily hygiene, and routine check-ups to help your smile stay brilliant and keep your natural teeth healthy for a lifetime. Cox Family Dentistry      James T.
