Episode 30 – The 100-Year Mouth: Why Oral Health Matters for Longevity
PrimeSpan Podcast — Episode 30 What does it take to keep your teeth healthy for the next 40 years of your life? In this episode of the PrimeSpan Podcast, Adam Dimacali, and Raffi Kalaydjian sit down with Dr. Shawn Matian, founder of Bio Dental in Encino, to discuss the connection between oral health, longevity, and whole-body wellness . In This Episode Oral Health and Longevity The conversation explores how oral health can provide clues about systemic health, including connections between gum disease, inflammation, diabetes, and cardiovascular health. Preventive Care and Daily Hygiene Learn why plaque can quickly develop into tartar and how consistent brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings support healthier teeth and gums. The Mouth as a Health Indicator Dr. Matian discusses how dentists may identify signs of broader health concerns through oral changes and routine health checks. Biomimetic Dentistry The episode explores preserving natural tooth structure through modern restorative approaches, including onlays, veneers, and treatments focused on maintaining tooth vitality. Dental Implants and Bone Health The discussion covers tooth loss, jawbone preservation, bone grafting, and the role of digital planning in modern implant dentistry. Technology in Dentistry Digital scanners, CAD/CAM systems, 3D imaging, and artificial intelligence are changing how dental problems are identified and treated. Oral Health as We Age Age alone does not determine dental health. Consistent hygiene and preventive care can help support oral health and quality of life later in life. Practical Takeaways Dr. Matian emphasizes taking ownership of daily dental care, including inspecting teeth and interdental spaces, maintaining good hygiene, and finding tools and techniques that work for you. The larger message is simple: oral health belongs in the longevity conversation. Taking care of your teeth and gums can be an important part of maintaining quality of life as you age.
