From Ascribe Newsfeed: Retaining its domain at http://www.orallongevity.ada.org, the refreshed site features an updated design, enhanced navigation and new content for the initiative that helps increase awareness about the importance of older Americans maintaining good oral health for a lifetime. For easy navigation, a link to the OralLongevity brochure and DVD appears on each page, along with anchor tags that jump directly into a specific topic within the section. In addition, the web site offers presentation materials to assist dentists in educating other health professionals, older adult patients and caregivers about the importance of oral health. These online resources can be used in the dental office or in the community. In the Consumer Resources section, visitors will find tips for taking care of their teeth, pointers on making the most of visiting the dentist, and a discussion of the connection between oral health and overall health. A reference list of articles on various oral health topics is provided for those seeking more in-depth information. A link to "Find an ADA Member Dentist" also can be found here. The premier source of oral health information, the ADA has advocated for the public's health and promoted the art and science of dentistry since 1859. JADA, a monthly journal, is the ADA's flagship publication and the best-read scientific journal in dentistry.
