Received Date: Aug 01, 2025 / Accepted Date: Aug 29, 2025 / Published Date: Aug 29, 2025
Abstract
Geriatric dentistry addresses the unique oral health challenges faced by older adults, including tooth retention, chronic diseases,
xerostomia, periodontal disease, and caries. It emphasizes adapting treatments for physical and cognitive limitations, recognizing the
critical link between oral and systemic health. Key aspects include managing dental prosthetics, oral cancer screening, and addressing
pain and nutritional deficiencies. Patient-centered approaches, caregiver involvement, and interdisciplinary collaboration are vital
for optimizing the oral health and overall well-being of the elderly.
