Geriatric dentistry focuses on the dental care and treatment of older adults, addressing the unique oral health challenges they face as they age. As people grow older, they often experience a variety of issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and dry mouth, which can significantly impact their quality of life. Additionally, age-related conditions like arthritis can make it difficult to properly care for teeth and gums. Geriatric dentists are skilled in providing specialized care tailored to the needs of seniors, including managing oral health problems associated with systemic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis. Regular dental visits are crucial for detecting early signs of oral health issues and ensuring that older adults maintain strong, healthy teeth for a lifetime.
