In 2030 the last of the boomers will be over the age of 65 contributing to approximately 1/3 of the US population being over 65. Baby boomers are living longer due to: better health care and medications; more focus on health related issues; and better education and incomes. This interactive presentation will focus on what happens to the body as it ages and how dental visits can be adjusted to meet the needs of the aging patient.
