The mouth is rarely considered in the care of Parkinson’s Disease (PD), even though PD can cause several mouth-related issues. On November 21 Dr. Gilbert will have an in-depth discussion about dental challenges and PD with Board-Certified Dentist Anesthesiologist Louis Seigelman, DDS. Dr. Seigelman specializes in dental care for patients with unique medical situations, such as PD.

Register in advance and join the webinar to learn about:
· Dental treatment for those who have a tremor
· Personal mouth care for those with dexterity issues
· The role of oral pathogens in neurodegenerative diseases such as PD
· Dental care for someone with cognitive decline
· Dental care for medically compromised individuals

Also, take a look at these oral and dental resources that can help you learn more:

Swallowing problems and drooling: Swallowing issues are very important to diagnose as this can affect daily life, your nutrition, potential for choking, and more.

Speech and voice issues: Soft voice, imprecise speech, and lack of inflection are among some of the vocal issues people with PD may experience. This conversation with a speech language pathologist can help you learn more about these issues and how to combat them. (And if you want to exercise your voice, join us for Sing Loud for PD – every Wednesday from Nov 27-Dec 18!)

Share these resources with anyone in your PD community!
