Dental Health for Seniors

According to the American Dental Association, 68% of older adults suffer from gum disease, and nearly 20% have untreated cavities. Without proper dental care, seniors are at higher risk for serious medical issues beyond just the teeth and gums.

Our new resource provides information for seniors and their caregivers on the risk factors associated with oral health problems, dental health solutions, dental hygiene tips, and free and low-cost dental care.
