The condition in which muscle strength and mental and physical vitality decline as we get older is called "frail". The stage between health and disability (needs requiring nursing care) is called the "frail stage", and it is said that after this stage, the state of need for nursing care.

The deterioration of teeth and mouth condition (deterioration of oral function) is called oral flail. Oral frails have been found to be more likely to cause frail. It is important to keep in mind your dental health every day in order to live a healthy daily life.

It is said that people who have more than 20 remaining teeth get up and walk, are smooth, and that many people are spending their daily lives well. I want to leave 20 teeth at the age of 80 and enjoy daily meals with my own teeth.
To that end, regular dental checkups and daily brushing are important.

Diseases in the oral cavity are mainly cavity and periodontal disease.
These diseases are causing tooth loss and chewing. If you have any discomfort with your teeth, consult your dentist as soon as possible.

It is a disease in which cavity bacteria produce acid from sugar, and the teeth melts by the acid.

A disease in which bacteria invaded through the gap (periodontal pocket) between teeth and gums (gingival) cause inflammation of the gums, and further dissolving the bones (alveolar bone) that supports the teeth and makes it loyal.

Regular checks with your GP is very important, even if your mouth is not particularly painful.
If you have a family doctor, please have a look at it regularly.

We carry out periodontal disease health check-up with the aim of promoting the prevention and early detection of periodontal disease, which is a major cause of tooth loss, and to support healthy and comfortable life in older age.
