Senior Health & Boise Dental Treatments

Proper Boise dental care is important at every age, especially in our senior years. While seniors are at greater risk for developing oral health issues, there are things you can do to prevent issues from developing with proper at-home care and professional Boise dental services. Doing so will help you maintain healthy teeth and gums for many years to come.

Adapting For Change

As any Boise dentist will tell you, it’s important to pay special attention to our teeth as we get older. During our 50’s, 60’s and 70’s there is a variety of age related circumstances that can affect the overall health of our teeth and gums. Some of these include:

  • Normal wear and tear that include cracks, chips and old fillings
  • Damage due to grinding and clenching
  • Medications and dry mouth
  • Decreased bone density
  • Decreased ability to care for teeth

So what can you do to prevent unwanted issues from developing? The answer is a lifelong commitment to at-home care while visiting your Boise dentist twice a year for preventive exams and cleanings. Doing so will provide you with a better chance at maintaining healthy teeth and gums as you age while avoiding dental emergencies and losing teeth.

Popular Treatments for Seniors

Even with proper dental care, it’s not uncommon for seniors to develop issues that warrant the help your downtown Boise dentist. Fortunately, many of the treatments we offer can restore your teeth to their original glory while preventing more serious issues from developing.

Treatments include:

  • Boise teeth whitening
  • Porcelain veneers
  • Boise crowns and bridges
  • Boise dental implants
  • Root planing and scaling
