Abstract
Older adults face unique oral health challenges, including increased prevalence of conditions like xerostomia, periodontal disease,
and root caries, often exacerbated by polypharmacy and systemic diseases. Specialized geriatric dental care is crucial, emphasizing
preventive strategies, managing chronic oral conditions, and adapting treatments for age-related changes. Maintaining oral health
is vital for nutrition, overall well-being, and preventing complications like denture-related issues. Early oral cancer detection and
multidisciplinary management of chronic oral diseases are paramount. Advances in restorative dentistry offer improved care options
for this growing population.
