The study found that people with a mild hearing loss, were nearly three times more likely to have a history of falling. Every additional 10-decibels of hearing loss increased the chances of falling by 1.4 fold. If you or a family member are concerned about hearing loss, visit your local hearing specialist today.
Preventing and Treating Gum Infections
Gum infections can affect your whole mouth, so preventing them is important. Brushing your teeth with a fluoridated toothpaste twice a day and flossing thoroughly once a day, as well as rinsing with anti-gingivitis mouthwash, can help keep your gums healthy and infection-free. Seeing your dentist for a cleaning every six months is also crucial. If gum infection does occur, treatments such as antibiotics, salt water rinses, root planing (deep cleaning to the roots), and gingivectomy (removing infected tissue) can help. Seeing your dentist regularly can help you avoid gum infection issues and protect your overall oral health.
