Men’s oral health care is just as critical as women’s oral health care. However, men are less likely than women to care for their oral health needs. Even though good oral health has been linked with longevity, being male is the common factor associated with infrequent dental checkups. Men are less likely than women to seek preventive dental care from a dentist and often neglect their oral health for years. They only visit a dentist when more significant dental issues arise from neglect. According to oral health statistics, men will lose 5.4 teeth by the age of 72 and are more likely to develop oral and throat cancer and periodontal disease.
