Adult and Elderly Adult Oral Health

Beyond The Smile: The Campaign for Adult Oral Health

Oral health is an integral part of overall health throughout your lifespan.  Researchers continue to explore links between oral health and disease of the body, such as diabetes, heart disease and lung disease.  To educate Virginia's adults about various oral health topics, the Division of Dental Health strives to develop new programs and educational materials for adults.

Current educational programs include:

• Virginia's Oral Cancer Project
• Diabetes & Oral Health
• Oral Health for the Elderly and Disabled
• Oral Health & Overall Health-A Healthy Body Begins Here
• Senior Smiles
