Our September focus group hosted five students from Forte College in the Phoenix area who demonstrated the health benefits provided by updated dental products and modern dental hygiene. Working with an older population presents specific challenges when addressing brushing teeth with and without adaptive equipment, dry mouth syndrome and denture care. This presentation was open to our friends, their families, our volunteers, staff and the public. Discussion was followed with a hearty question and answer session. There was a raffle, and everyone walked away with something dental. Feedback was positive with everyone looking forward to our next Friday Focus Group.
