  • Aging is the process where the body goes through
    many changes and requires extra attention and
    care. While keeping an eye on the nutritional
    requirement of the body elderly people often
    forget about their dental health. Researchers
    have found that poor dental health is the key
    reason behind many other health complications in
    elderly people. Since overall health depends on
    dental health, it is important for elderly people
    to maintain follow good dental hygiene
    practices. 
  • Here are 6 reasons why dental care is important
    for elderly people

3
Heart Diseases 
  • There is a proven connection between heart
    disease and gum disease. Bacteria present in the
    mouth can enter the bloodstream through the
    weakened gum tissues. People suffering from
    periodontal disease are more likely to have
    complications related to heart and Coronary
    artery disease. Dental Specialists in Udaipur say
    that common dental issues like gingivitis (gum
    diseases) and cavities can lead to serious heart
    complications if ignored for too long or left
    untreated. It is important for elderly people to
    maintain an effective dental hygiene routine for
    good gum and teeth health.

Respiratory issues 
  • Hard to believe, but poor dental health can cause
    respiratory issues in senior citizens. Bacteria
    present in the mouth can enter the lungs and
    cause infections. These infections can lead to
    serious lung complications like Pneumonia which
    can be fatal in many cases.

5
Uneven Jawbone 
  • Poor dental health can lead to teeth loss. The
    empty spaces left by tooth loss can create an
    uneven jaw bone. This condition not only creates
    appearance issues but can also lead to serious
    speaking and chewing difficulty in elderly
    people. 

6
Dry Mouth 
  • Dry mouth is common amongst elderly people
    because of the medications they take due to
    various health issues. Having a dry mouth leads
    to very little saliva production which can cause
    issues like bad breath and slower food breakdown.
  • Mumbai dental clinic provides affordable Dental
    Treatment Services in Udaipur to senior citizens
    who are suffering from dry mouth. 

7
Gum Disease 
  • Gum disease is very common in elderly people due
    to their inability to take proper care of their
    oral health. If ignored it can cause bleeding and
    swelling in the mouth, which can result in
    chewing and drinking problems. 

8
Diabetes
  • Diabetes is very common among senior citizens but
    bad oral health can further complicate it.
    Periodontitis (a serious gum disease) can affect
    the bodys mechanism using insulin. Poorly
    utilized insulin can disturb blood sugar levels
    and lead to bigger diabetic complications. It is
    important to maintain good gum health as gum
    disease can make it difficult to control blood
    sugar levels. Mumbai dental clinic has a team of
    Dental Specialists who provide gum, Root Canal
    Treatment in Udaipur to diabetic patients. Dental
    issues are common for elderly people but with
    good dental hygiene practices, these issues can
    be avoided. It is important to make dental care a
    priority for elderly people. Simple practices
    like brushing, flossing, and paying regular
    visits to a qualified dentist can help in
    avoiding these issues.
