REALLY NICE POST. AND NICE WEBSITE LOOK. THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US. HELPFUL & INFORMATIVE.

We are glad you enjoyed it. Have a great day!

No doubt, It’s a Good post but I did not understand that, What is the relation between Humidifier vs Dental Product.

Even though humidifiers don’t specifically improve dental hygiene, they help alleviate common Parkinson’s issues of dry mouth. Thanks for commenting, Dr. Syed!

Thank you so much for these great ideas! I am newly diagnosed and my teeth have been going through lots of problems. I will start to put some of these into practice immediately and share them with my dentist at my next appointment … very soon!

Thanks for sharing, Barb! We hope you’re able to work with your dentist to find the best way to care for your teeth.

Thank you so much for all the info. Didn’t realize how important dental care is, especially for “Parkies”!
