Dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on the dental care of the elderly. As we age, our oral health changes, and older adults tend to experience specific dental problems that require a specialized approach. Dentistry is responsible for preventing, diagnosing and treating these problems, considering both oral health conditions and systemic diseases associated with ageing.

Benefits of dentistry:

1. Oral health maintenance: It helps prevent common problems such as caries, periodontal disease (genives), tooth loss and other age-related problems.
2. Improved quality of life: A healthy mouth facilitates better nutrition, which is essential for nutrition, and contributes to general well-being.
3. Early detection of diseases: Dentistry can identify signs of systemic diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis or even oral cancer through regular oral examinations.
4. Adapted solutions: The treatments are designed to adapt to the specific needs of the elderly, considering their general state of health and the use of medicines.

Who's it meant for?

Dentistry is especially aimed at people over 60 years of age or those who, due to chronic health problems, may experience oral complications. In addition, it is useful for people who take medications that affect oral health, such as those that cause oral dryness or alter the oral microbiota.

Are procedures painful?

Procedures in dentistry are not necessarily more painful than in general dentistry. However, the management of pain and patient comfort is a priority in this branch. Dentogeriatricians use minimally invasive techniques and strive to make treatment as comfortable as possible. Local anesthetics and, in some cases, sedation are used to reduce anxiety and patient discomfort. In addition, the treatment is personalized to minimize discomfort, taking into account the health conditions of each patient.

Advantages for the elderly:

1. Prevention of serious diseases: Regular dental care can prevent serious infections that could complicate other chronic diseases, such as heart disease or diabetes.
2. Improvement of oral functionality: With the help of prosthetics, implants or treatments for gums, older adults can recover adequate oral functionality, which facilitates speech and chewing.
3. Aesthetics and self-esteem: The treatment of dental problems not only improves health, but also has a positive impact on appearance, which can increase self-esteem.
4. Comprehensive and specialized care: Dentistry offers a global approach that considers patient health in its entirety, adapting treatments to the physical and emotional needs of older adults.
