Retirement may bring new medications, older dental work, or a change in coverage. If you are a senior living in Scotia Heights, here is how regular dental visits can keep pace with all of that.
Let's find a time
Seniors are welcome as new and returning patients for hygiene visits. An appointment in your seventies or eighties has the same core parts as anyone’s, yet there may be more to talk about: decades of restorations, a longer medication list, and teeth that have seen a lot of use.
Scotia Heights is an area in Winnipeg, and appointments are held at our clinic on McPhillips Street. The aim is simply to understand where your oral health stands today and help you take the next step, without any pressure to rush the conversation.
Explore check-ups & cleanings
Time is set aside to go through your health, medications, and past dental care.
Crowns, bridges, and fillings placed long ago are part of what gets examined.
Bring your CDCP or plan information and raise any questions about estimates early on.
An exam and a cleaning are still two different things, however long you have been having them. Each may have a little more to take into account now.
The purpose is to see what is healthy, what deserves monitoring, and whether any care should be considered.
Plaque and tartar can form on any teeth at any age, and a cleaning removes the deposits your brush can’t shift.
If you wear a denture or partial, say so when you ask for an appointment. Your remaining teeth, gums, and soft tissues still need attention.
Your health and the time since your last appointment both influence the details. Each stage should be explained before it begins.
Request your visitYour list of medications and any recent diagnoses are reviewed with you. Dry mouth or other changes you have noticed belong in this discussion.
A dentist assesses your natural teeth, soft tissues, and existing work, and any need for diagnostic images is explained.
Your hygienist removes tartar and plaque with suitable instruments and may polish afterward. Tell them if lying back is difficult, or if any spot feels sensitive.
Together, you go through what was found and when to come back. Anything you are unsure about is a good thing to ask here.
Many older adults take several prescriptions, and current information helps the clinic plan your care safely. A printed list or even your pill bottles can be simpler than trying to remember every name.
When you request your visit, feel free to ask about appointment length, estimated costs, and how your plan or CDCP applies. Coverage always depends on your plan and the services provided.
The reception desk and hallway, with wood-look flooring.
Stiff necks, sore backs, and sensitive roots are all fair things to mention. The more your team understands about what makes an appointment difficult, the better they can respond.
If you find it hard to lie back, let your team know before the chair is adjusted.
Agree on a simple signal for whenever you need to rest or sit up for a moment.
Ask for anything to be repeated or explained again if you didn’t catch it the first time.
Looking after things at home
What works for you at home might have changed over the years. This is a good time to adjust how you care for your teeth and how often you come in.
If your hands get sore or tired, tell your hygienist and ask what might make daily cleaning easier.
A sore on your lips, tongue, cheeks, or gums that isn’t healing is worth getting looked at.
The advice reflects your health, and a change in medication or a new diagnosis may be reason to revisit it.
Please call rather than wait if you develop pain or swelling, or if a tooth or filling breaks.
