Dry mouth and seniors
 

More seniors today in the Tampa 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, North Pointe Dental Associates 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 visit North Pointe Dental Associates for regular dental cleanings and topical fluoride rinses.

For more information regarding dental problems of the elderly, please call our North Pointe Dental Associates at (813) 961-1727.

*Minimal sedation, also known as anxiolysis, is the use of oral and inhalation medications to relieve anxiety before and during
 dental procedures that minimally reduce consciousness in an effort to reduce fear and anxiety, while still maintaining
 normal breathing and the ability to respond appropriately to physical and verbal stimulation.
