Aging Matters
Dental Health
Season 1
Episode 12
On NPT's Aging Matters, we'll explore the relationship between people's oral health and their overall health as well the challenges low-income older adults face when trying to access affordable dental care. By hearing from both dentists and their patients, we discover that oral health is linked to chronic diseases, nutrition, social and emotional well being, and overall quality of life.
