Preventive Dentistry

In elderly patients, especially those with poor health, even basic dental hygiene becomes a challenge. Brushing, flossing, rinsing… these activities which seem so basic to most of us can be nearly impossible for patients with limited mobility. However, it is this basic hygiene that is so vital in preventing, stopping, and even reversing many dental issues. That’s where the team at LifeCycle Dental comes in. Our preventive therapy includes deep hygiene treatments, as well as advice and instructions on maintenance techniques for patients and their families. At any stage, preventive dentistry is vital to the preservation and maintenance of oral health. LifeCycle Dental will, upon admission to the assisted living facility, perform an overall checkup to screen for decay, ill-fitting dentures, gum disease, and oral cancer. We will then administer general hygiene and treat any existing issues.

We provide our services to any long term care facility within a 40 mile radius of our Fort Worth headquarters. Call our office today to learn more about how you can implement our comprehensive dental program into your long term care offering.
