"The life span of any civilization can be measured by the respect and care that is given to its elderly citizens, and those societies which treat the elderly with contempt have the seeds of their own destruction within them."

A.Toynbee

Geriatric dentistry or gerodontics is the delivery of dental care to older adults involving the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of problems associated with normal aging and age-related diseases as part of an interdisciplinary team with other health care professionals.

Older adult patients will present a range of challenges and demands.

Providing quality dental care for these patients can be very rewarding but also very challenging due to an array of complex dental and medical conditions that become more common as we age.

Management of older patients requires not only an understanding of the medical and dental aspects of aging, but also of many other factors such as ambulation, independent living, socialization, and sensory function. Many barriers may interfere with providing older patients with dental care, including severe dental complexity, multiple medical conditions, diminished functional status, loss of independence, uninformed attitudes about dental care in old age, and limited finances. The mission of Adarsh Dental Clinic is to surmount these barriers by education, clinical programs, research agendas, and legislative advocacy

Geriatric dentistry is a science that is a multidisciplinary and multidimensional approach to the management of the oral health problems of the elderly.

The dental diseases that the elderly are particularly prone to are root caries, attrition, periodontal disease, missing teeth because of earlier neglect, edentulism, poor quality of alveolar ridges, ill-fitting dentures, mucosal lesions, oral ulceration, dry mouth (xerostomia), oral cancers, and rampant caries The untreated oral cavity has its deleterious effects on comfort, aesthetics, speech, mastication and, consequently, on quality of life in old age. [4]

At Adarsh Dental Clinic we believe the dentist's behavior and attitude toward the patient and the time that the dentist allocates for elderly patient is crucial if successful treatment is to be provided. The fear and anxiety felt by an elderly patient is handled with empathy. Ramps and a walker for transfer to the dental office is provided to transfer the elderly with ease.

Bring in your elderly parents for a professional and complete dental health care service. Adarsh Dental clinic is committed to a mission of improving the oral health of older adults.
