Beware the grinding of teeth! The stress of Parkinson's can lead to clenching the jaw. Teeth get cracked and worn. Does anyone wear a mouthguard?

PDF has netbriefings.com where you can listen to/watch these mini-seminars. I watched one on Swallow and Dental Challenges...really informative.

I use toothpaste, mouthwash and mouth spray made to assist with dry mouth issues--get the products at Walgreens. I spray his mouth just before he goes to sleep. Last check his teeth were all good.

I hate the dry mouth I have which is caused by all the meds my doctors have prescribed.
