Did you know that according to the American Dental Association, nearly one in five adults aged 65 and older have lost all their teeth? Maintaining good oral health is crucial for everyone, but it becomes especially important as we age. Finding dentists who specialize in elderly care can make a big difference in ensuring comfortable and effective dental care for seniors.
Seniors face a lot of challenges due to reduced dexterity, dry mouth caused by medications, and underlying medical conditions can all make oral hygiene practices more difficult. Additionally, some seniors may experience anxiety about dental visits due to past negative experiences or concerns about pain. This is why we have introduced Senior Smiles Program for our senior community members in Hawaii.
Kokua Smiles understands the unique dental needs of seniors and is proud to offer Senior Smiles Program, a program designed to provide gentle, comprehensive and anxiety-free dental care to older adults.
The Senior Smiles Program at Kokua Smiles addresses dental health challenges by providing priority appointments, transportation reimbursement, free consultations, a welcoming and comfortable environment and much more for our geriatric patients. Our dental professionals are specialists in geriatric dentistry, meaning they have the expertise to care for the specific needs of senior patients.
You can schedule a free consultation or walk-in to know more about the program. During your visit, we will take the time to understand your medical history and any medications you're taking to ensure treatment planning considers any potential interactions. After your free consultation, our dentists will devise the best course of action for your treatment, so you get the dental care you deserve.
