"I am really excited to be working with Fixodent and, as part of the Circle of Confidence, I hope to provide tools and information to help you feel your very best when entering into this new stage of life.

"My goal is to show all women that by taking advantage of all the options available for you to nourish your body, mind and looks (on the inside as well as those options that help build confidence by improving your looks on the outside), we can help to slow, stop and even reverse the aging process—at any age. After all, only 15 percent to 20 percent of aging is genetically predetermined and you can take control of the remaining 80 to 85 percent!"

Questions and topics that Elizabeth will address include:

  • What can I do on a daily basis to continue to build my confidence?
  • Now that my dentures have given me a new smile, what else should I do to take better care of myself so I can truly shine?
  • Will I have to change my diet to accommodate my dentures?
  • Are there any foods I should avoid to prevent damaging my dentures?
