for your total well-being
Every day, it’s estimated, 10,000 Americans turn 65 years old. Some of these
people, unfortunately, have misconceptions that can jeopardize their health. Major health myths and misconceptions regarding
senior health include:
1.If I feel ne, I am ne. Chronic infections can last so
long that the way they feel becomes the “new normal,”
when it shouldn’t be.
2.Sleep isn’t important anymore. Older adults need the
same seven to nine hours of sleep they did when younger. 3.It’s too late to start exercising. Check with your doctor and start slowly, but there’s no reason why seniors can’t get in some exercise (even if they’ve never
done it before).
4. Drink water only when thirsty. You may need
hydration before you even notice or before you feel like you need it.
5.Dry mouth is just part of aging. Maintaining proper oral hygiene is important at any age, and especially for denture wearers who, even with no teeth, bene t from a regular oral hygiene routine specially formulated for them,ratherthansimplyacceptingpoorhealth.
Fortunately, Cleanadent paste from Dr. B Dental Solutions is the only toothpaste available that is gentle enough to safely brush both the gums and oral appliances (such as dentures, implants, overdentures and full-arch implant bridges), helping prevent and treat dry mouth, sore spots and infections. Thanks to its special low- abrasive formula, it will not scratch, tarnish or negatively affect dentures in any way (and will actually help keep them fresh, clean, as well as stain- and odor-free). The paste is formulated with vitamins (A, D and E), aloe vera, coconut oil and tea tree oil to moisturize and revitalize the gums while removing microorganism-infested bio lm. There are no arti cial avors or colors.
