By: Gaeta International (941) 349-4666 DENTURE CARE FROM YOUR OWN BED? SARASOTA,FL –“My mother Alta lost her denture and did not know it due her dementia. Obviously, my family was grief-struck with the thought of finding an office to treat her; because we knew she would not cooperate and taking her out of the nursing home would be embarrassing. Dr. Joseph Gaeta Jr. of Mobile Denture Care, LLC, is filling a desperate need for the elderly, bedridden and those afraid of dentist’s offices. His passion came about as a result of seeing so many loved ones not get the access to care that they deserve. Alta Cassanelli, a recent patient of Dr. Gaeta’s, is one of the many suffering seniors who, without Dr. Gaeta’s services, would not receive the vital denture care she needed. Alta received the treatment she desperately needed, all in the comfort of her own room. Too many times patients just like Alta go untreated, for the simple fact that they are no longer able to make a traditional dental appointment. “Before I became a dentist, I had observed my grandparents in their twilight years and specifically the impact of failing teeth. In each case, the quality of life had been diminished. Failing dental health affected their self-image; it limited their diet and the basic ability to chew. Also, there was a constant complaint of discomfort. In the case of my crabby grandma, her upper denture mysteriously disappeared from the nursing home. And it was difficult for my parents to find a dentist to help her” “Although life expectancy is on the rise, nearly 40 percent of people age 85 and above actively participate in the decline of their own health by not wearing their dentures,” cautions Dr. Gaeta. All too often these seniors mouth is neglected, leading to a loss in appetite, which eventually may lead to a loss in life expectancy due to the lack of nutrition. Dr. Gaeta adds, “Its not surprising, because when teeth are missing, the jawbone deteriorates, making it difficult and often painful for people to wear their dentures. Without functional teeth, these patients become orally challenged, unable to chew properly with or without their dentures Nutritional intake is compromised, leading to a decline in health. And it’s not necessary”.
