As we gracefully age, our dental needs evolve, requiring specialized care to maintain optimal oral health. At Magnolia Dentistry in Nicholasville, KY, Dr. Alexandra Steury and her dedicated team understand the unique concerns of senior patients. With tailored solutions and compassionate care, we ensure that your smile remains vibrant at every stage of life.
As we grow older, several dental issues become more prevalent:
Years of wear and tear can lead to weakened enamel, making teeth more susceptible to decay. Additionally, dry mouth, a common side effect of certain medications, can exacerbate the risk of cavities.
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a serious concern for seniors. Factors such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, and certain medical conditions can increase the risk of gum disease, which, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and other health complications.
With age, the protective layer of enamel on our teeth wears down, exposing the sensitive dentin underneath. This can result in increased tooth sensitivity, especially to hot, cold, or sweet foods and beverages.
At Magnolia Dentistry, we offer comprehensive solutions to address age-related dental issues:
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are crucial for maintaining oral health as we age. Our team will assess your oral health, address any concerns, and provide personalized preventive care recommendations.
From tooth-colored fillings to dental implants, we offer a range of restorative treatments to repair damaged or missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile.
For patients with gum disease, we provide gentle yet effective periodontal therapy to halt the progression of the disease and restore gum health.
To help prevent tooth decay, especially in areas prone to decay, we offer dental sealants and fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and protect against cavities.
Our team will work with you to develop a customized oral hygiene plan tailored to your specific needs and concerns, ensuring that you maintain optimal oral health between visits.
At Magnolia Dentistry, we prioritize your comfort and well-being, providing compassionate care in a warm and welcoming environment. Led by Dr. Alexandra Steury, our team is dedicated to helping you achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for years to come.
