Gum recession is the process in which the margin of the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth wears away, or pulls back, exposing more of the tooth, or the tooth's root. When gum recession occurs, pockets, or gaps, form between the teeth and gum line, making it easy for disease-causing bacteria to build up. If left untreated, the supporting tissue and bone structures of the teeth can be severely damaged, and may ultimately result in tooth loss.
Adult day services also benefit family caregivers by enabling them to remain in the workforce or receive needed respite and by providing them with direct services (e.g., educational programs, support groups).
If you're an adult child of a parent or a family member with needs, you know that giving care 24/7 is exhausting. The adult daycare offers services for family members who works full or part-time or has additional obligations like child-rearing, and is especially useful when one takes time for self-care.
