AnswerBank Answer:
If an older person has few or no dental problems or even no teeth, does he or she need to see the dentist?
Yes. Even if you do not have teeth or only have had a few dental problems, it is wise to visit your dentist at least once a year for a comprehensive oral exam. At this visit your dentist can look for signs of oral cancer as well as for any other oral health or medical problems in the mouth, head, and neck areas.
