Oral Care for my Older Self

Join us this May as we will focus on managing our oral care as we age with Director of Internationalisation School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences, Chair of Oral Health Services Research and Gerontology, Consultant in Restorative Dentistry, Queens University Belfast, Professor Gerry McKenna. As we age, some common issues can arise such as receding gums, tooth loss, wear and tear, teeth staining and sensitive teeth. Therefore, we need to pay more attention to our oral health routine, as we age. Join us as we shine a spotlight on oral care for the older person.

Key Learnings:

• The changing oral health profile of older adults.
• Prevention and management of caries in older adults.
• Considerations for replacing missing teeth in older adults.
