Did you know that men are less likely to visit the dentist than women?
And because oral health has been connected to serious, chronic health issues, such as heart disease, dementia, diabetes, and cancer, it is extremely important that no one neglects their dental care.
With Father’s Day approaching, now is the best time to give the special Dad in your life the gift of oral health.
Here’s a list of our favourite tips to help maintain good overall health.
Get an Oral Cancer Screening. Men are twice more likely to develop oral cancer than women, particularly over 45.
Oral cancers are not that hard to diagnose and can be treated IF it is discovered early on. Get an oral cancer exam while it’s early!
Schedule a Dental Cleaning & Exam. Since oral diseases often don’t display symptoms in their early stages, they often go unnoticed by the patient.
One of the best methods to protect yourself is by visiting your dentist for regular check-ups.
Wear a Customised Sports Mouthguard. This is a cost-effective way to protect his precious pearly whites during various forms of recreating, and losing teeth is already costly – what more replacing the missing ones!
Practice Good Daily Oral Hygiene. Make sure your Dad brushes his teeth thoroughly at least once daily, as well as flossing them.
Gargle with an antibacterial mouthwash after having a meal in case of food debris left inside the mouth.
Dad Deserves the Best
Taking some time to focus on their oral health will go a long way towards keeping your Dad in good shape all-year-round (and the years to come).
Father’s Day is the best time to show our love and appreciation to the special Dads in our lives.
