If the elderly have tooth defects or dental caries, they can be treated with dental fillings. When filling teeth, doctors will clean and prepare the teeth first, and then use dentures or fillings to repair defects or dental caries. This treatment can help the elderly to restore the appearance and function of teeth and prevent the further development of oral diseases.
But the elderly should also pay attention to some problems when filling their teeth. First of all, there may be some diseases in the oral cavity of the elderly, such as periodontal disease, oral ulcer, etc., and dental filling materials can only be used after treatment. Secondly, the physical function of the elderly is declining, and their tolerance to surgery may be poor, so a comprehensive physical examination and evaluation are needed before treatment.
In addition, the elderly need to choose appropriate materials and techniques to fill their teeth. Generally speaking, the elderly can choose to use materials with good biocompatibility, such as all-ceramic materials and resin materials, to avoid adverse reactions such as allergies. At the same time, doctors need to choose appropriate treatment schemes and techniques according to the oral conditions and needs of the elderly to ensure the effectiveness and safety of treatment.
In a word, people in their sixties can be treated with dental fillings, but before treatment, they need to have a comprehensive oral examination and evaluation, and choose appropriate materials and techniques.
