Denta-Med

Someone once said if you take care of someone with dementia you lose them more and more everyday. When they get the diagnosis, when they go through different stages, when they need treatment and when they pass away.
This is called "ambiguous loss". As the brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are. They could end up lying in bed, not moving and not eating or drinking.
There will be people who will scroll past this post because Dementia has not touched them. They may not know what it's like to have a loved one who has battled or is still battling dementia.
To raise awareness of this cruel disease, I would like my friends to put this on their page today.
Hold your finger on the post to copy and paste to your timeline.
A special thank you to anyone willing to put this on their timeline for Dementia Awareness Week.🥰🫂

For many, dry mouth isn't just a minor inconvenience; it’s a real challenge that can impact daily life. The good news is that Denta-Med has developed innovative solutions tailored for you.

Imagine a future where you don’t have to worry about the discomfort of dry mouth. That's the difference Denta-Med can make. Start your journey toward relief today!

Every day, people battle fatigue, joint pain, dry eyes, and brain fog, but the world sees only someone who looks fine. Doctors, workplaces, and even friends often don’t understand. Misunderstanding leads to delayed diagnoses, inadequate care, and unnecessary guilt.

This is why education in Australia must change. Everyone from clinicians to communities needs to know what Sjögren’s looks like beyond the surface. Understanding is not just compassion, it is the first step toward better treatment, support, and outcomes for the 1 in 300 Australians affected.

Invisible doesn’t mean unimportant.
