More
seniors today in the Bridgeport 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. Gottlieb 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 Larry I Gottlieb DDS for regular dental cleanings and topical fluoride
rinses.
For more information regarding dental problems of the elderly, please
call our Larry I Gottlieb DDS at 203 374-1027.
