Dry Mouth (Xerostomia)
Many medications cause dry mouth, which increases cavity and decay risk. We recommend frequent sips of water, sugar-free gum, and fluoride treatments to protect your teeth.

Dental Care for Seniors in Weatherford: What Changes as We Age
Older adults face unique dental challenges — from dry mouth to tooth loss. Our geriatric dentistry approach is designed to meet those needs with dignity and expertise.
Root Cavities
As gums recede with age, the softer root surface becomes exposed and more vulnerable to decay. Regular checkups help us catch and treat root cavities early.
Tooth Sensitivity
Receding gums and worn enamel make teeth more sensitive. Fluoride gel, sensitivity toothpaste, and gentle brushing techniques can help manage discomfort.
Dentures and Tooth Loss
If you've lost teeth, dentures, implants, and bridges offer solutions. We help seniors choose the best option for their lifestyle, budget, and health.
