With over 10,000 Americans turning 65 each day, in just a few years we will have nearly double the percentage of seniors living in our communities as we have today. The oral health of this sector of society will have a huge impact on the cost and treatment of many chronic and systemic diseases.Breakfast and lunch included with registration.
