Since our founding, over a century ago, the Forsyth Institute has been an innovative leader in oral health research and clinical care. Today, Forsyth is a top-tier NIH-funded research institute focused on exploring the connections between oral health and overall well-being.
Why Oral Health?
Your mouth is the gateway to your body. Oral disease is linked to some of the most widespread and worrisome diseases in public health, including Type II diabetes, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, cancer, preterm births. Forsyth is the only independent research institute in the U.S. focusing on the connections between oral health and overall wellness.
