Baltimore, MD dentist Dr. Ed Lazer offers experienced dental care tailored to the unique dental needs of mature adults. As we age, our oral health develops and changes. Older patients may face more complex dental concerns, including missing teeth, increased tooth decay, and poorly fitting dentures.
Oral Hygiene, Always Important
When it comes to oral health, a few things never change as we age. Brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist at least twice a year are still just as important as ever. A lifelong, good daily oral hygiene routine can help you maintain your natural smile. Brushing and flossing are essential for keeping your smile healthy and functional.
However, as you age, you may find it more difficult to brush. Arthritis or Parkinson’s can make it hard to brush your teeth properly. You may want to try an electric toothbrush or a toothbrush with a larger handle. This can make it easier to be sure you can thoroughly clean your smile.
If you need help, tips, or tricks on how to maintain the health and function of your smile and bite as you age, never hesitate to ask one of our dental care team members. We are always happy to assist our patients. We can help you learn new techniques for cleaning your smile.
Secure Your Dentures
Missing teeth are a common dental concern in mature patients. Whether you are missing one tooth or a full arch, Dr. Lazer offers missing-tooth replacement options. From temporary dentures to full-service dental implant treatment plans, we can work with you to restore your smile’s function, health, and beauty.
If you are missing teeth and currently have a removable denture, you may have options to secure it. Secured dentures help patients avoid the frustration and potential embarrassment of slipping or ill-fitting dentures. Dr. Lazer offers dental implant-secured dentures and no-metal partial dentures for more natural, aesthetic results. Our Baltimore dental office also offers denture repair and reline services for a more comfortable, secure fit.
