A Smile That Ages Gracefully — Why Dental Care in Old Age Matters

As we grow older, our body changes — and so does our oral health. Tooth loss, dry mouth, gum disease, loose dentures, and oral infections are common problems faced by senior citizens. That’s why old age dentistry, also known as geriatric dental care, is essential for a healthier, more comfortable life.

At Smile Studio Varanasi, we are committed to offering specialized dental care tailored to the unique needs of elderly patients, ensuring comfort, dignity, and a confident smile.

Common Dental Problems in Older Adults

• Tooth Wear and Sensitivity:
  Years of chewing, grinding, or acidic food intake can wear down enamel, leading to sensitivity or pain.
• Gum Disease (Periodontitis):
  A silent threat in seniors, gum disease can cause tooth loss, bad breath, and impact overall health — especially for those with diabetes or heart conditions.
• Dry Mouth (Xerostomia):
  Caused by medications or health issues, dry mouth can increase the risk of tooth decay and fungal infections.
• Tooth Loss & Loose Dentures:
  Missing teeth can affect chewing, speech, and confidence. Ill-fitting dentures can cause pain, infections, and even affect nutrition.
• Oral Cancer Risk:
  Older adults are at a higher risk of oral cancer. Regular checkups help in early detection and timely treatment.
