Event Details
Join us for a fun, hands-on workshop to explore good oral health habits and other simple ways to stay healthy.
Important Facts about Oral Health:
• Older adults have greater health risks when oral care is overlooked.
• Dry mouth, tooth decay, gum disease and pain don't have to be part of getting older.
• Oral health is more than having a nice smile.
• Daily oral care keeps teeth and gums healthy. It can also prevent more costly interventions.
