Any help in finding a dentist for an 85 year-old with Alzheimer's? We are in NOVA.
She lost her lower denture and hasn't been to the dentist in several years letting her dental coverage lapse. |

| Does she need work for comfort or eating? He doesn’t specialize in geriatrics but Alan helig is very gentle and conservative. If it’s just cosmetic I wouldn’t bother. |

| Decide if this is really needed. Sorry but my late mom kept scheduling cleanings and dental exams for my late dad with advanced dementia. I think the dentist intervened by politely suggesting that my mom seek basic oral hygiene care from AL where he resided. |
