This is a shot in the dark.

My dad passed from dementia. That’s the best diagnosis we got. He wouldn’t go in under an MRI machine.

He had horrible , infected teeth. They were badly infected.

There’s linkage of poor oral hygiene and Alzheimer’s.

If I had know this sooner, I would have pushed harder for him to have those bad teeth extracted and had him start using a water pik.

I worry that what he died of was preventable.
