Poor oral health including cavities, decay, teeth wear off, gum diseases, are also linked to medical conditions such as diabetes, heart diseases, and respiratory distress, etc.
With an increase in age, changes occur within the body so as in the oral cavity as well and causes difficulty in chewing, speaking and smiling, etc. Dental health in the aging requires precise attention and a fine understanding of what needs to be done, and why it is important.
Having good oral health is beneficial for our mental health, physical health in the long run.
Maintaining oral health at its optimal level is not a one time process, it takes time, dedication, and consistency.
As for children and adults, maintaining oral health is crucial in older ages as well. Keeping good oral health in old age requires a multidisciplinary approach. It involves health care professionals from the healthcare profession such as dentists, geriatric nurses, geriatric specialists, psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers, and other professionals who can educate, spread awareness, advocate and support the older adult individuals to maintain good oral health.
