Oral healthcare and the frail elder : a clinical perspective / editor, Michael I MacEntee ; associate editors, Frauke Müller, Chris Wyatt

Oral healthcare is an integral part of overall health and well-being, and it is a significant and increasing challenge as people grow frail. Oral Healthcare and the Frail Elder: A Clinical Perspective provides dentists, dental hygienists, and other healthcare professionals with comprehensive, practical instruction on managing the multifaceted oral healthcare needs of frail elders. By discussing background information and relevant literature, the book provides a holistic approach to clinical issues such as oral pain, dry mouth, and periodontal disease.
