Maintaining good overall health and quality of life is important to everyone. Part of the maintenance, my parents always taught me, is regularly visiting the dentist for cleanings and cavity checks. It turns out dental care is particularly important for people with Parkinson’s. Dental hygiene can be challenging for people with Parkinson’s due to their symptoms, both motor and non-motor like apathy and depression. It is so critical to have a healthy oral environment. An unhealthy one can lead to bigger issues. Luckily, there are solutions to some of these challenges. We will break it all down for you – what to avoid, what to anticipate, and solutions – in this episode. Keep smiling and listen on. https://dbsandme.com https://www.atsu.edu/arizona-school-of-dentistry-and-oral-health Thank you to my sponsor, Boston Scientific, the maker of Vercise Genus, a Deep Brain Stimulation or DBS system.

She was very good although I did not learn very much. I actually take antibiotics when I go to the dentist because I had DBS and it helps prevent infection. I also receive botox injections due to a saliva issue. So as I said I knew a lot of what she discussed; however I am sure not everyone does.
