Senior Dental Care in Etobicoke

Dental On Dundas provides gentle check-ups and cleanings for seniors and older adults in Etobicoke and Islington Village. Our dentists have more than 24 years of experience caring for patients as their dental needs change with age, including age-related gum sensitivity, sensitive teeth, dry mouth and dentures. We are accepting new patients and we accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).

Gentle check-ups and cleanings for older adults

We take extra time and care with every senior patient. A senior dental check-up includes:

  • A thorough oral exam of teeth, gums, fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures
  • A detailed gum assessment — we measure gum pockets to detect gum disease and recession early
  • Gentle cleaning at a comfortable pace, with numbing gel available for sensitive gums
  • Oral cancer screening, which becomes more important with age
  • Digital X-rays with minimal radiation, when needed
  • A review of your medications, since many can cause dry mouth and increase cavity risk

Age-related gum sensitivity and sensitive teeth

Gums naturally change as we get older. Gum recession can expose tooth roots, causing sensitivity to hot, cold and sweet foods, and older adults are at higher risk of gum (periodontal) disease. Our dentists offer:

  • Thorough periodontal assessments for gum sensitivity, bleeding and recession
  • Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to treat gum disease
  • Desensitizing and fluoride treatments for sensitive teeth and exposed roots
  • Home-care advice — the right toothbrush, toothpaste and rinses for sensitive gums

Preventive oral health for seniors

Good oral health is closely linked to overall health, including heart health and diabetes. Regular preventive visits — usually every six months — help older adults keep their natural teeth longer and avoid painful problems. We also help with:

  • Dentures and partial dentures, including fittings, relines and repairs
  • Dental implants and crowns and bridges to replace missing teeth
  • Dry mouth management
  • Fillings and root canal treatment

Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) accepted

Dental On Dundas accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) for eligible seniors, and offers direct billing to most private dental insurance plans.
