Lost or confused with your oral health issues? Peer to Peer Healthcare

If you've found yourself confused, or lost with your oral health issues and aren't getting the support you need from friends and family, call your health care provider to walk you through your treatment plan. One outlet with today's limitless technology has allowed patients to connect with Peer to Peer health care online. A national survey showed one in four Internet users with a chronic disease said they had gone online to find others with similar health care issues for support, (23%). The same study also found 15% of other Internet users who report no chronic conditions have sought refuge in others online as well. When asked about the last time they had a health issue, 70% of adults in the U.S. said they received information, care, and support from a health care professional. After receiving oral treatment, know there are many options available for followup care. For more information on these support groups, visit http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2011P2PHealthcare.aspx
