• Poor eyesight
• Impaired hearing
• Memory issues

Vision Problems Seniors Should Not Ignore

• Vision problems are very common among seniors as
  our bodies change as we age. Aging may also come
  with certain eye conditions that can cause vision
  loss.
• Surface pain, inflammation and irritation- These
  are typical signs of dry eye syndrome, a
  condition that is more irritating than it weakens
  sight.
• Blind spots in the field of view- This issue may
  occur due to the onset of diabetic retinopathy
  and is most common in diabetic patients.
• Severe eye pain, redness, nausea and vomiting-
  These can be the symptoms of a sudden attack of
  glaucoma, which can harm the eye's optic nerve
  that may result into permanent loss of vision.
• Sudden vision blur- After the age of 60, chance
  of developing macular hole and macular
  degeneration increases.

Why Senior Dental Health is Vitally Important

• Helps to prevent diabetes. If someone develops
  periodontitis (gum disease), their body isnt
  able to efficiently use insulin. This leads to
  high blood sugar and diabetes.
• Bacteria in the gums can lead to heart disease.
  It might seem strange but when the teeth and gums
  are not healthy, the rest of the body has a hard
  time fighting infection and disease.
• Dry mouth can result from a variety of sources.
  It might be from a certain medication or even as
  a result of cancer treatment.
• Oral bacteria can lead to pneumonia. Seniors
  are already prone to pneumonia and this is
  another way they can develop it.
• Uneven mouth. When people lose their teeth to
  decay the rest of the mouth accommodates for the
  open space by shifting all of the other teeth.
