Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 45 | If anyone has been watching the Today Show this week, they've been running down all the tests we should have in our 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s and when to initiate them. They ran the usual list - paps, digitals, cholesterol, mammograms, colonoscopies, blood sugar, PSAs. I watched and waited and was not surprised that NEVER was any mention made of taking care of oral health PERIOD - even getting your teeth cleaned - much less have an oral examination for any changes. I was so disappointed that the national media and "health" experts still don't get it! No wonder!....just wondering....
