Conference PPT (5 MB) - Institute for Oral Health

Conclusions
• Mouth is connected to the rest
of the body.
• Older adults demonstrate the
connection between systemic
diseases and medications on
oral health more readily than
other populations
• Presence of oral infection &
inflammation can exacerbate
systemic illnesses and vice
versa
• We need a social marketing
campaign about the
relationship b/w oral disease &
systemic diseases
