The Importance of Dental Health

Some adults may have physical issues that make them unable to hold a toothbrush, and others may have memory issues and forget to brush, floss, or attend regular dental appointments. Practicing good dental hygiene can prevent pain, discomfort, and sensitivity, and attending regular dental checkups can also prevent accidents such as swallowing or choking on broken teeth or partials.
