Track 6: Oral and Dental Health

Dental and oral health are critical components of overall health and success. Dental cavities and gum disease are caused by poor oral hygiene, which has also been linked to cardiovascular illness, disease and diabetes. You should not wait until you experience symptoms to see your dentist. Going to the dentist twice a year will, for the most part, allow them to diagnose a problem before you ever notice any symptoms. If you observe any of the following warning signs of oral medical concerns, you should schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
