Chew on this: Dental caries is the most prevalent, preventable, chronic disease in the U.S.- affecting adults and children alike. The 2019 Global Burden of Disease Study estimated that oral diseases affect close to 3.5 billion people worldwide; 25% of the US population suffers from untreated tooth decay, and 17% of seniors have no teeth. Oral health is critical to overall health and well-being, however, it is often overlooked until dental pain arise. This webinar will explore the two-way relationship between diet and oral health and will provide participants with practical approaches to promote good oral health in older adults.
