Divine Favour Healthcare Staffing Inc., your provider of home care services in Ontario, Canada, aims to provide complete, affordable, and personalized home care experiences to our patients. This is why our health care programs are designed to address different patient needs, including oral hygiene.
As an agency specializing in homecare in Canada for years, we have established a good relationship with different medical facilities, and we also have experienced medical experts in our agency. These knowledgeable professionals recommend the following tips to maintain oral hygiene, especially for older people:
- Drink fluoridated water because it can reduce the acquisition of tooth decay. Fluoride is also the primary ingredient of the toothpaste we use, so be certain to brush your teeth at least twice a day using fluoride toothpaste.
- Go see your dentist at least once a year for a check-up and to ask for prescriptions that can help maintain your oral health. However, if you experience weird reactions from the medications you’re taking, such as a sudden change in taste and smell, visit your dentist right away for the necessary intervention.
- Quit smoking and limit your alcohol intake to prevent teeth staining, gum disease, and foul breath, among others.
If you’re having difficulty following these tips due to old age, don’t worry. When it comes to assistance with the activities of daily living, our caregivers and homemakers are to the rescue.
Our personal care services, including bathing, grooming, and hygiene, are made simpler and available for you to guarantee your comfort and overall health.
