About the Event
The body parts we often take for granted, our eyes, ears and teeth can reveal a lot about our overall health. That’s exactly why routine visits with the right providers are so essential.
A 2018 report from the Commonwealth Fund found that when older adults get the dental, vision and hearing services they need, they are able to be more independent and can reduce their risk of falls, isolation, depression and visits to a hospital, ER or nursing home.
In this 90-minute seminar we’ll address these and other questions:
- What problems result from poor dental care?
- Do hearing and teeth have any connection?
- What can you do to take care of your eyes?
- What do you need to know about your prescriptions?
