Did you know one out of five older adults have lost all of their teeth or have untreated tooth decay, and two out of five have gum disease? Join Dr. Chu and Dr. Mills as they discuss oral health problems for adults over 65, including why oral and pharyngeal cancers are primarily diagnosed in older adults, and why ER visits have increased in recent years due to the effects of marijuana use on oral health.
