Dry Mouth... Dr. Nichols Can Help
More
seniors today in the Arlington Heights 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. Nichols 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 Dean Nichols DDS for regular dental cleanings and topical fluoride
rinses.
For more information regarding dental problems of the elderly, please
call Dean Nichols DDS at 847 392-2141.
