As I have shared, I have learned to live in my 90-year-old mother and 93-year-old father’s world. As they get older, their needs are very different. I cherish the moments I have with them. During our time together, I have developed my own set of tools in how I cope with their declining health and honor them in their need. I am grateful to board certified geropsychologist, Natali Edmonds, PsyD, founder of Dementia Careblazers, who shares trustworthy information and support for people dealing with someone with dementia.

When I think of dentistry, I think of prevention through dental care. But it was not until I met Claire Stagg, DDS, that I learned that oral care goes beyond the mouth. It is amazing to me that more dentists have not figured out that the mouth is connected to every aspect of our health. I started treatment for Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder. I can now see how having TMJ has caused other symptoms in my body. What is the truth about oral health? Dr. Stagg will share how our oral health can, if ignored, lead us to heart disease and more.
