‘Health’ used to be defined as merely the absence of disease, and was based on the ‘medical’ model. The health belief then was people would only use a health service when they needed treatment. It was reactive treatment.

‘Health’ is now interpreted differently. ‘Health’ is understood to be a complete state of physical, social, and emotional well being affecting the whole person. It is a pro active approach promoting prevention and wellness.

When we talk about oral health, it’s not just about the health of the mouth and what’s in it, but how it affects general health, interaction with others, and the individual. This is particularly relevant to the older age groups, because they want to continue being involved in the activities of their children, grandchildren, maybe even their great grandchildren, friends, and the wider community for as long as they possibly can. To enjoy their life!

Today more people are living a lot longer and their health is one of their most valuable assets. Like all assets it has to be protected. It is particularly important that you follow the prevention and wellness approach with your oral care as you get older because this will pay big dividends. Some of the things that happen as you get older are unavoidable. They are all part of growing old. But some are avoidable and it is those you need to be aware of and take steps to combat.

Oral health has never figured prominently in healthy ageing because the products marketed globally focus on cosmetic and lifestyle benefits, not health. It is only now that people are becoming aware of the importance of oral health to general health.

Preventive health should start at the mouth because the mouth is the entry point to all the body’s vital systems. As you get older your body is less able to cope with bacterial loading. Connections have been made between various medical conditions caused by oral pathogens. In 2000, the commissioner of the US Surgeon General’s first-ever report on oral health stated that “oral health means more than sound teeth. Oral health is integral to overall health.”

As early as 1988, Dr Shanahan personally observed the connection of oral health and disease when working in aged care. Most residents had very poor oral health and despite intensive nursing and medical care, which did not include preventive oral care, things continued to get worse.

So to help the body maintain health, a daily Denta-Med gel anti-bacterial oral care regime should greatly assist your body in dealing with harmful bacteria from the mouth. Denta-Med gel has been scientifically created to deliver health benefits through the following:

• The safe antibacterials used in Denta-Med gel are FDA approved and highly effective against harmful bacteria that cause dental problems and health issues.
• The saliva is the body’s natural mouth protector, coating the whole mouth including the teeth with a protein-like material. Using the mouth's physiology, the gel’s delivery system retains the saliva and uses it to attach the antibacterials.
• Micro particle chitosan delivers two critical functions. It accelerates healing and provides a slow release system for the antibacterials, zinc, and fluoride.
