How Seniors Can Protect Their Dental Health
As we age there are some things that we tend to let slide. Dental health can be one of the good-health ensuring steps that we forget. This is not wise, however, since dental health is connected to whole-body health.
This is why it’s important that senior loved ones have someone to remind — or help — them keep their oral health a priority. Or if you are a senior, that you have regular visits to your Q1 Dental Melbourne dentist.
As we age, dental health is important to our overall quality of life. We want to be able to chew food properly and without pain. We want to taste what we’re chewing. We want to reduce the likelihood of other health issues. And we want to save money.
At Q1 Dental we know that fear of the dentist is a serious problem. Patients who are afraid of visiting the dentist often delay treatment, and, as a result, they face a higher risk of dental decay, gum disease, and tooth loss.
