Dry mouth and seniors

More seniors today in the Granite City area have retained their own teeth, avoiding the trauma of removable dentures.  Many are on medications creating dryness of the mouth as a side effect.

Without the natural benefit of saliva to decrease bacterial action, Dr. Splaingard is seeing an increase of cavities on the root surfaces of these patients. 

Anyone on a medication causing a dry mouth effect should be encouraged to see to visit Kent J Splaingard DMD for regular dental cleanings and topical fluoride rinses.

For more information regarding dental problems of senior adults, please call our Kent J Splaingard DMD at 618 877-6303.
