Who likes going to the dentist? The sound of drills compounded with the scrapings deep beneath your gums as you wiggle in your chair doesn’t sound like a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth. Root canals? Forget it. Avoid it as you may, oral health is important to your overall health, and neglecting your teeth and gums will lead to complications like pneumonia, respiratory tract infections, head and neck cancer, arthritis, and heart attacks.
According to a recent study, an estimated 45 million seniors have some form of gum disease. They worry excessively or lose sleep over the thought of what might happen at the dental office. The elderly probably fear the dentist more than children and younger adults because they had not experienced advanced technology in their younger years, so they live with their memories of horror that terrorize them into paralysis.
