Your Bones Will Thank You
|
Your bones are alive-they are living tissue. When we are young and growing, our bodies break down the old bone and replace it with new bone. Around age 30, our bone mass stops increasing and more bone breaks down than is being replaced. Our goal for bone health should be to keep as much bone as possible for the rest of our lives. We can take action now to prevent bone loss and watch for warning signs of a more serious condition.

Maintaining a Healthy Mouth
|
Just 60 years ago, it was often presumed that older people would lose their permanent teeth as part of the aging process. Today, we know that maintaining a healthy mouth is a valuable exercise and keeping permanent teeth is a realistic expectation for many of us. With some simple and healthy habits, we can enjoy a smile that lasts a lifetime.

Preparing for Joint Replacement Surgery
|
Joint replacement is a serious decision for any family. Many factors can affect the recovery period, and each of these factors requires energy and dedication. Today, a person's overall health and activity level are more important than age in predicting a joint replacement's success, so preparing the body and mind for the journey ahead is an important part of healing.
