Maintaining good systemic health is important at every age. When disease develops in one area, such as the oral cavity, it doesn't remain confined there. It can influence overall health and contribute to broader issues throughout the body.
Adults aged 65 and older are at a higher risk of both dental and medical issues, making preventive care essential. Brushing and flossing twice daily and visiting your dentist twice a year for comprehensive exams and cleanings can help protect your smile and support your long-term health goals.
