Physical health

By Mayo Clinic staff

Adult health and wellness covers many areas, including oral health, skin care, good sleep and adult health screening guidelines.

Consider oral health a window to overall adult health. Your mouth may reveal clues about health problems — or even cause them. Brush up on daily dental care tips to protect your oral health, and know which signs and symptoms deserve a dentist's attention.

Skin care is another popular adult health topic. Proactive skin care — from skin protection to proper shaving technique — can help keep your skin youthful and healthy.

And of course, regular physical exams and health screening tests are an important part of adult health. Know which screening tests you need and how often to have them done.
