Oral health problems can hinder a person’s ability to be free of pain and discomfort, to be able to maintain a satisfying and nutritious diet, and to enjoy interpersonal relationships and a have positive self-image.
Oral and dental health problems are more frequently found in an older adult population for whom other health problems are often more of a priority. However studies show links to poor oral health and over all health care issues and therefore should not be seen as not important, since oral health is connected to your overall health care.
