Preventive Dental Community Education Program
Tooth loss is common, especially as people age. In the United States, roughly 19% of people over the age of 65 have lost almost half their teeth and an additional 24% have no natural teeth at all. Tooth loss is often the consequence of tooth decay and gum disease, conditions which are largely preventable or controllable.
Join Periodontist Geoff Bauman, D.M.D., M.S., to learn how to prevent tooth loss and keep your teeth for a lifetime. The program will take place on Thursday, July 24, at 6:00 p.m., in the Licking Memorial Hospital First Floor Conference Rooms. The event is free; however, registration is required. Please call (220) 564-2527 to register or for more information.
