Oral health is a significant concern among Asia’s ageing population, with many of the problems taking root at a relatively young age, according to DuPont’s Principal Applications Specialist.

We spoke with Anders Henrikson shortly after he delivered a keynote presentation at our recent healthy Ageing APAC Summit in Singapore.

He also discusses some of the other emerging benefits of probiotic intake, as well as the need to effectively communicate these to dentists, health care practitioners and consumers.
