As we age, sometimes we forget about a very important aspect of our health: our oral health. Once we get in our fifties and sixties, some of us think, it is what it is. It's expensive; senior on fixed incomes put tooth care last. But as we age, our teeth need more attention. Dr. Shawn Weiss joins Suzanne to talk about how oral health factors into overall health.

On behalf of Vitality Revolution Podcast Series gold sponsor Humana, Lori Hutson talks about dental health benefits available through Medicare Advantage programs.

In this segment, Sarah talks about the mission of Sound Dental Care and where future breakthroughs in geriatric dental care will take us. Mobile dental hygiene brings equipment to each facility to deliver the best possible care and comfort to patients. We're all aging – seniors should be able to live out their lives feeling like they're being advocated and cared for.

Sarah Luetke, founder and CEO Sound Dental Care, joins Suzanne to talk about breakthroughs in geriatric dental care. Mobile dental hygiene is often a better solution. She sometimes applies palliative care, an alternative treatment with silver diamine fluoride, which is an antimicrobial prescription topical to treat cavities for patients who aren't healthy enough for a tooth extraction.

Sarah Luetke at Sound Dental Care joins Suzanne to talk about geriatric dental health. Tele-dentistry and mobile dentistry bring dental care to residents at senior living communities, people who can't travel to a dental office. We have to think about dental insurance in a different way with seniors. Sound Dental Care provides many preventative-type treatments, including alternative palliative care with silver diamine fluoride.
