National Oral Health Month serves as a crucial reminder to assess your dental well-being. Aging introduces heightened dental challenges, encompassing issues like missing teeth, gum diseases, root decay, and dry mouth induced by medications. Older adults confront increased risks, as poor oral health correlates with cardiovascular problems, strokes, diabetic control issues, and respiratory infections. Establishing healthy habits—such as reducing sugar intake, regular brushing, flossing, and consistent dental check-ups—proves pivotal. It’s imperative to prioritize oral health as an integral part of your routine for overall holistic well-being.
