Dental Care
Dental care settings with dementia champions and helpful practices can advance a community’s effort to be supportive of everyone touched by the disease.
Key Ideas
Dental professionals can play key care and support roles for people with dementia and their care partners. They can provide ongoing oral health services, promote timely detection and diagnosis, educate about dementia, and connect people with community resources that promote quality of life.
ACT’s Dementia Friendly Dental Care tips and best practices handout describes the value of early detection and diagnosis and details dementia care using a coordinated, person-centered approach.
