A Review on the Older Persons who Affected by Regular Oral Diseases

Kanchan Dhake

Chronic disorders of the mouth, such as dental infections, tooth loss, benign membrane lesions, and cancer, are more likely to affect older people. Dry mouth and oral fungal infections, which can result in acute pseudomembranous fungal infection, erythroderma lesions, or angular inflammation, are additional common oral disorders in this population. The use of over-the-counter secretion replacements is another option for treating dry mouth brought on by underlying medical conditions or pharmaceutical use. Medical professionals will help elderly patients maintain wholesome oral health by evaluating risk, differentiating between typical and pathological age changes, simulating a focused examination, and, if necessary, referring patients to a dentist.
