Description
This book explores the intersection of aging, medical illness, and oral health, with a focus on the unique dental care needs of the elderly population. As life expectancy increases globally, particularly in countries like India, the elderly face a range of age-related health issues that significantly impact their oral health and function. Geriatric dentistry addresses these challenges by providing specialized care tailored to older adults, encompassing diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of oral health problems. The book delves into the aging process, common age-related medical conditions, and their implications for dental care, while emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in managing the health of older adults.
