The need for proper dental care for Geriatric patients has been on the rise. Although their treatment and diagnosis are challenging since these patients often come with systemic as well as oral problems, we make sure that their dental needs and their overall health is our top priority. There are many cases where the patients are clueless about their systemic diseases having oral manifestations. We make sure not only to give them a reason to eat their favorite cooked meal but also to educate them and make them aware to manage their general health properly. Most common diseases seen in elderly patients are cardiovascular diseases, respiratory illness, diabetes and other systemic disorders. Amongst these, cardiovascular diseases and uncontrolled diabetes have the tendency to cause severe infection to your Oral tissues (aka periodontal inflammation) Keeping these factors in mind, elderly population forms a distinct group of provision for dental care.
