Take Action
To Support Seniors' Oral Health...
- Seniors can ask their pharmacist if any of their prescriptions cause dry mouth - and what can be done to lessen that problem.
- Check with your local water district to determine if you tap water is fluoridated. If not, support fluoridation in your community.
- Ask your physician and dentists about steps that you can take to prevent oral disease.
- Learn more about oral disease and share information with your friends.
- Raise this issue at your local senior center and offer to provide more information.
- Recruit a speaker that can talk to your organization about oral disease.
- Ask your legislator to support cost-effective oral disease prevention.
- Write letters to the newspaper expressing support for oral health and disease prevention.
