September is Arthritis Awareness Month, making it a great time to highlight the importance of dental care for those living with arthritis. Joint pain and stiffness can make brushing and flossing more challenging, leading to plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay. Inflammation from arthritis can also increase oral health risks, while poor dental health may worsen overall inflammation. Adaptive tools like electric toothbrushes or floss holders can make daily care easier. Regular dental checkups, professional cleanings, and consistent home habits are essential. Protecting your oral health supports overall wellness and helps manage arthritis-related inflammation. Your smile deserves the best!
