Dry Mouth... Dr. Koniuk Can Help
More
seniors today in the Duncan 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. Koniuk 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 Randall R Koniuk DMD for regular dental cleanings and topical fluoride
rinses.
For more information regarding dental problems of the elderly, please
call Randall R Koniuk DMD at 250 748-3334.
