Could your teeth predict how long and how well you live?


In this episode, Dr. Maria Floro explores the growing body of research connecting oral health to longevity, cognitive decline, systemic inflammation, and overall quality of life. Drawing from long-term studies involving older adults, she explains why maintaining healthy teeth and gums may influence everything from nutrition and immune resilience to dementia risk and physical independence.


The conversation covers:

The science behind tooth count and mortality

Why gum inflammation affects the entire body

The relationship between chewing, digestion, and nutrition

Oral bacteria and chronic inflammatory burden

Cognitive decline, dementia, and oral health

Why restoring missing teeth matters

Practical ways to protect oral and systemic health as we age


This episode offers a clear, research-based perspective on why oral health should be considered a foundational part of preventive healthcare and healthy aging.
