My mother is 82 years old and very frail. She’s been losing teeth because she hasn’t been caring for them. It has more to do with her Alzheimer’s than her lack of hygiene. She thinks she’s brushed them but she hasn’t. We had her move in with us this year. We’d lived a few states […]

Clear Choice or Costa Rica for Dental Implants
I’ve been looking into dental implants. A friend of mine did Clear Choice and, while she didn’t have any major problems, she did feel like the moment her procedure was done they sort of left her on her own. No follow up. No guidance. Another friend of mine went to Costa Rica to have a […]
