National survey reveals baby boomers miss links between oral and overall health

Baby boomers looking for the warning signs of adult-onset diseases may be overlooking key symptoms in their mouth that should signal alarms about their overall health. According to a survey commissioned by the Academy of General Dentistry, 63 percent of baby boomers (ages 45-64) with an oral symptom considered to be a key indicator of a more serious health condition, were unaware of the symptom`s link to the condition. Boomers` failure to recognize that oral health holds valuable clues could negatively impact their overall health.

  • ""I brought my 4 year old with me to familiarize her with the dentist and every single staff member was very receptive to her, friendly and helpful. We didn't wait for anything and had a great time/ We even got to take home two gloves (which my daughter loves!) Since I moved dentists a few years ago, I have felt good walking into the office knowing that I am in great hands in a wonderful feeling - especially if my 4 year year old loves it there!!""
