The American Dental Association has created informative videos called Ask the Dentist. Here is their video on: 'How Can I Help My Elderly Parent Brush Her Teeth?'
With the American population living longer, seniors' oral health has become an important issue, as has the widespread problem of elder abuse. Every year more than 2.5 million older Americans may be victims of elder abuse, and in some cases dentists serve as the first line of defense, according to a report in the May/June 2005 issue of General Dentistry, the clinical, peer-reviewed journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD).

Dental Care is Different
Not just our bodies, but also our teeth and gums will show
signs of aging. Fillings may loosen and need to be replaced
before decay sets in. Gum disease may begin and continue to
advanced stages if left untreated. Root decay can set in.
The necessary flow of saliva through our mouths may be
reduced if we’re taking certain medications. Teeth may have
lost their brilliance due to consumption of tobacco or
caffeine. We have products and treatments to take care of
these problems and keep your teeth and gums in a healthy
condition. We continue to emphasize proper cleaning and good
nutrition as well. We also let our seniors know that if
teeth feel loose or gums start to bleed, to contact our
office immediately. Russell E. Graham, DMD 2935 N Country Club Road Tucson, AZ 85716 (520) 327-1205 RussellEGrahamDMD.com
