> Older adults often take several medications and have specific dental needs. See which questions to bring to your clinician before any new supplement.

## Guides
- [Dental Care After 60: What Changes and What Stays the Same](https://chewable-for-older-adults.jicepebe.workers.dev/dental-care-after-60/): Dental care after 60 rests on the same basics as at any age: fluoride toothpaste twice a day, cleaning between the teeth, and regular dental visits.
- [Medications That Can Dry the Mouth: A Talking Point](https://chewable-for-older-adults.jicepebe.workers.dev/medications-and-dry-mouth-older-adults/): Many everyday medicines can leave the mouth drier, so medications and dry mouth in older adults is a worthwhile topic to raise with your dentist or pharmacist.
- [Caring for Dentures and the Mouth Underneath](https://chewable-for-older-adults.jicepebe.workers.dev/dentures-and-oral-hygiene/): Dentures and oral hygiene go together: the appliance needs cleaning every day, and so do the gums, tongue and any remaining teeth beneath it.
- [Gum Recession With Age: What to Ask at a Checkup](https://chewable-for-older-adults.jicepebe.workers.dev/gum-recession-in-older-adults/): Gum recession in older adults is when the gum line pulls back and exposes more of the tooth, and it needs a dentist to look at it rather than a guess at home.
- [Supplement Interactions: Why Older Adults Should Ask First](https://chewable-for-older-adults.jicepebe.workers.dev/supplement-interactions-older-adults/): Supplement interactions older adults may face are worth a conversation before any new product goes into the routine, because many people already take several.
