Dry mouth and seniors

More seniors today in the Staten Island 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. LoPresti 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 C Anthony LoPresti DDS MS for regular dental cleanings and topical fluoride rinses.

For more information regarding dental problems of senior adults, please call our C Anthony LoPresti DDS MS at 718 984-6400.
