A Place for Mom's Family

Did you know a simple decayed tooth can cause some severe bacteria issues in a senior with a compromised immune system. Seniors need to keep all dental hyigene current and brushing and flossing may not be enough. They can get a prescribtion for FLUORIDE drops and put two drops a day into their coffee, milk or juice. This helps keep the teeth strong, as they age , teeth age too, it will not reverse the affects of aging , it just adds strength. Medicare will pay for it too! Bad dental care can cause UTI's, bacteria infections and aggravate your arthritis! YES, its true! Its systemic to your immune system, so KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLEAN

Another place to check is your county's dental association (the dentists' professional group). Some of these associations hold free dental clinics, or otherwise provide limited, low-cost dental care for low-income seniors. Also, if there is a school of dentistry – where new dentists are trained -- at a college or university near where you live, they may offer free or low-cost dental care at their clinic. Finally, check with local senior centers near where you live. They may have dentists who visit and provide free dental care, or they may provide a referral to dentists who offer low-cost care.

For a while, my mother did not go to the dentist due to the fact; she had no health insurance, when we finally took her, she found out that she needed a tooth extraction because the sinus pain she thought she was having, was actually a toothache. They added stitches and she was ok after that, but now we are cautious about not taking our teeth for irresponsibility.
