Aware of those needs, the Ápex Odontologia professionals offer a differentiated treatment to these patients, reserving a specific time to provide clarifications, clearing all doubts and offering care information appropriate to this phase.
One of the concerns is associated to the drug interactions; that's why the dental treatment is performed maintaining a direct connection with the patient's doctor, to allow the information exchange.
A point which affects a few senior age people, the movement difficulty, is another target of Ápex care, which maintains in the ground floor all offices aimed to the elderly, providing wheelchair access and support equipment in the bathrooms.
The social interaction issue is also considered: the dentists work for maintenance and, when necessary, restoration of the senior age patient's smile. This way they feel supported. Another very important factor is that the replacement of the teeth many times reduces the malnutrition presented by many elderly patients, because of the lack of food mastication.
