More
seniors today in the La Jolla 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. Sigafoos 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 Gary M Sigafoos DDS for regular dental cleanings and topical fluoride
rinses.
For more information regarding dental problems of the elderly, please
call our Gary M Sigafoos DDS at (888) 462-9713.
