Marquette, MI – July 7, 2022 – This week on our latest Upper Peninsula Health Plan Update, we heard about the importance of good oral health and more from Erin Potter, UPHP Clinical Coordinator-Care Manager.
Potter explained why oral health so important and how people can maintain or improve it.
She said the four main ways are good oral hygiene at home, a tooth-healthy diet, not using tobacco products, and regular dental checkups.
Potter also talked about fear of the dentist, which is very common, and how it can be overcome to make sure people maintain good oral health.
She also shared that regular cleanings and exams are important for both oral and overall health, so being seen regularly by a dental professional is an important part of health care.
