Elderly in the Gooi increasingly affected by oral problems

In the Gooi, more and more elderly people seem to be suffering from oral problems. This is evident from a report by De Gooi- en Eemlander. Although the term 'oral infarct' is used, this is not a medical term. It probably refers to serious inflammations or conditions in the mouth.

Experts emphasize that young people who consume a lot of energy drinks are also a major concern. The high sugar and acid content in these drinks can cause serious damage to teeth and gums. The exact number of cases in the Gooi is not known, but the trend is worrying.

According to experts, good oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist are important for all age groups. Especially the elderly and young people who consume a lot of energy drinks are advised to pay extra attention to their oral health.
