Oral Health and Dental Visits Tied to Cognitive Decline in US Adults

Posted: September 4, 2025
A recent study analyzed 2022 BRFSS data to investigate the relationship between oral health, dental services, and subjective cognitive decline (SCD) in US adults aged 45 and older.

The findings suggest that maintaining good oral health and seeking dental care could help reduce the risk of cognitive decline in middle age and beyond.
