Dental Treatment is necessary for everyone irrespective of age. It is professionally recommended that for good oral health, one is supposed to visit a Dentist twice a year. This is hugely important for our overall healthiness as the mouth is the gateway to the body.
Putting the aged category in perspective, geriatric Dentistry becomes very necessary in this clime given the conditions in which our old persons in the rural areas have lived their lives with little or no access to efficient Dental Care as a result of the high cost and sometimes stark unavailability.
The GburusCare Geriatric Dental Clinic serves to prioritize the oral health of our senior citizens since from our diagnoses, it was clear that the long years of zero care has exposed their teeth to Dental Erosion, Abrasion and Attrition resulting in disease conditions such as: Gingivitis, Periodontitis, Dental caries and Heavy Calculus Deposits etc.
Good news is that the GburusCare Initiative has assembled Dental professionals with the training and tools to offer treatments such as;
1. Scaling & polishing
2. Extraction
3 OHI
We have often heard our old parents complain of tooth problems, perhaps, seeing a dentist for the first time in their lives will go along way to relieve them of pains that if left unattended would alter their overall health.
