My interests include examining the relationships between systemic diseases in aging and oral health. The effects of Diabetes type 2 on oral health and vice versa, and oral health issues for individuals with progressive neurological diseases (e.g Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease) are of special interest.
