Important aspects with regard to oral hygiene in elderly

Word Count : 570

---

Oral hygiene in elderly individuals holds significant importance because of the physical, psychological, and medical changes that occur with advancing age. The aging process often leads to a decline in oral health due to cumulative wear and tear, systemic diseases, reduced immune response, and dependency on caregivers. Elderly patients frequently present with unique challenges, including dry mouth, tooth loss, gum disease, oral cancer risk, and difficulty in maintaining daily oral care due to reduced dexterity or cognitive decline. Addressing these needs requires a holistic approach that not only emphasizes clinical treatment but also preventive care and supportive assistance tailored to the geriatric population. One of the most important aspects of oral hygiene in elderly patients is the management of xerostomia, or dry mouth, which is often a result of multiple medications taken for chronic illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, or heart disease. ____________ _____ ____________ ___________ ___ ____________.
