Effects of aging on your oral health

Growing older brings both rewards and challenges. For many, the biggest rewards include time – to play, partake in creative, cerebral and athletic passions, spend time with grandchildren. Increasingly, retirees are embracing exercise and fitness, leading to longer and healthier lives.
