RE: Tooth Loss May Increase Your Risk of Dementia by Up to 80%

in #medicine • 8 years ago

Thank you for the insight. I work with Dementia patients and with the numbers increasing rapidly here in Ireland (40,000 and rising) at present, any preventative measures whatsoever is a huge bonus. This is such a crippling disease. Very interesting read, Oral care is so important in the elderly also in terms of self-esteem, dignity, nutrition and social integration. win, win.

    Absolutely.

    Sadly in the UK a lot of elderly people can't afford good oral care due to the high costs of dentistry.

    Thanks for sharing your perspective.
