Oral hygiene for elderly patients

Oral health in later years shapes comfort, nutrition, and confidence: it deserves priority, not resignation.

• ·Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
• ·Floss daily; a water flosser can make this easier.
• ·Consider adaptive tools or an electric toothbrush if grip or dexterity is limited.
• ·Keep regular dental check-ups to catch issues early.

Consistent care supports overall health and quality of life at every age. Home visits are available nearby for those who cannot travel.
