The author discusses the need for preventive, restorative, and periodontal dental care to address oral diseases and conditions associated with aging. Topics include the tendency for seniors to not go to the dentist due to dental costs or lack of dental insurance, a shortage of dental practitioners willing to treat seniors or accept Medicare, and the impact of tooth loss on overall health and well-being.
