Our teeth show the signs of wear and tear and age, just like our bodies. We watch for the specific problems seniors often develop. Plaque can build up and lead to decay, or even worse, gum disease. Stains from food, drink, and tobacco can tarnish the whiteness of teeth. Fillings start to loosen, allowing decay to set in. We emphasize good nutrition and essential daily cleaning to ward off problems and to keep gums and teeth healthy. With regular check-ups, we can stay on top of any developing problem before it becomes a more serious condition.
Dentists complete 122 million composite tooth restorations in the United States each year, according to Oregon State University (OSU). But the average lifetime of posterior dental composites is only 6 years. Bioactive glass may improve their durability and provide some of the minerals that have been lost to tooth decay.
The use of laser technology for dental problems has evolved to an almost miraculous level! It produces positive results, and its use is patient friendly and minimally invasive. It has successfully been used in treatment of gum disease, in place of surgery. This FDA-approved procedure is virtually painless and additionally helps to regenerate bone mass in the jaw that may have been lost due to chronic gum infection.
