Geriatric Dentistry: For patients with chronic diseases, proactive oral health care is very important for reducing their caries and periodontitis risk.

Geriatric Dentistry: Establishing more frequent professional cleanings and teaching patients and caregivers about the associated oral health risks may also help improve home care and prevent oral consequences.

Geriatric Dentistry: For this reason, you may also want to consider Colgate® Duraphat® 5000ppm Fluoride Toothpaste and Colgate® Duraphat® Varnish for these patients, to counteract the raised caries-risk caused by dry mouth.
