The American Dental Association has created informative videos called Ask the Dentist. Here is their video on: 'How Can I Help My Elderly Parent Brush Her Teeth?'
Perhaps you have already tried to have dental implants but were turned away because of minimal bone density. That means you are still wearing dentures, and you are probably still experiencing the problems of tilting and slipping.
If you would like to have the stability that implants provide, we have a cutting-edge solution for these problems: mini implants. They will anchor your dentures into place and take care of all the annoyances of poorly fitting dentures.
We can insert these mini implants in just one visit, and the procedure is virtually painless. Amazingly, you can go home and eat any foods you desire. You can now enjoy all the benefits of regular implants with this breakthrough in dental implants.

With the American population living longer, seniors' oral health has become an important issue, as has the widespread problem of elder abuse. Every year more than 2.5 million older Americans may be victims of elder abuse, and in some cases dentists serve as the first line of defense, according to a report in the May/June 2005 issue of General Dentistry, the clinical, peer-reviewed journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD).

The Care Our Seniors Need
We understand the needs of our seniors to maintain healthy teeth
and gums and we provide excellent care to relieve their dental
problems. We have procedures that can remove build-up of plaque
as well as make teeth white again after years of caffeine or
tobacco consumption. We have products to solve the concern of
reduced saliva flow from medication use. We watch for cracks in
teeth or loose fillings that need to be replaced to prevent
decay within the tooth from developing. We always advise them of
the need to see us immediately if gums are red or bleed from
brushing or flossing or teeth become loose. These are symptoms
of gum disease or root decay and can lead to serious health
problems, especially in seniors.
