Description: The course is intended as an overview of the problems facing an increasingly aged dental population. Patients are keeping their teeth much longer and are surviving longer due to advances in medical care and medications. With increasing age comes the problems of reducing mobility, poor diet due to low income, dry mouth through polypharmacy, reduction in care due to limitations on home/care home funding and increasing incidence of the many forms of dementia. Dental treatment needs to be aligned with the specific needs of the patient; likewise the clinician is in an ideal position to monitor the patient’s’ general health and involve other facets of the care network. Current guidelines suggest simplicity in treatment, an holistic approach, and working from the ground up – working with the family and carers regarding diet and prevention, and with General medical practitioners to reduce overprescription and therefore side effects of just about every drug available.
