Oral Healthcare and the Frail Elder, 2nd Edition provides an evidence-based reference outlining management strategies for dental diseases treated as noncommunicable conditions in older populations. It offers structured insights into the clinical realities facing aging individuals who require dedicated oral healthcare.
Specific thematic sections analyze how dietary sugar, tobacco consumption, and alcohol use trigger and perpetuate oral health conditions in older individuals. In response to these persistent risks, the work presents clinical strategies intended to assist practitioners in mitigating dental caries, periodontitis, gingivitis, and mucositis in aging patients.
A key update to this volume is the addition of 15 new chapters. This reference fits the professional needs of practitioners across care teams, including dentists, dental hygienists, dental therapists, and geriatricians who manage geriatric patients.
