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.

What Our Clients Say About Us

  • "I may hate visiting the dentist, but I love visiting Dr. Rahim! He makes the experience not only tolerable but somehow enjoyable. He is very aware of the patient's comfort/discomfort and proactively accommodates a patient's needs - even beyond the chair (I broke a tooth and he repaired it hours later). Hands-down, he is the best dentist in town."

  • "They are the best. I recommend them to all my friends and family."
