Geriatric Dentistry
What is Geriatric Dentistry?
Geriatric dentistry is the dental specialty focused on the care of adults over age 65. It addresses natural wear and tear, gum disease, and other factors affecting oral health to preserve overall well-being.
The Importance of Oral Health
for Quality of Life
Older adults are more prone to systemic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, which are closely linked to gum disease and overall oral health. Therefore, specialist evaluations and regular dental visits are essential to prevent complications and maintain a high quality of life.
