Oral healthcare is an integral part of overall health and well-being, and it is a significant and increasing challenge as people grow frail.

By discussing background information and relevant literature, the book provides a holistic approach to clinical issues such as oral pain, dry mouth, and periodontal disease. <p> Edited by experts in the field, <i>Oral Healthcare and the Frail Elder</i> enhances clinical application with thorough reviews of pertinent social and ethical issues, access to care issues, and the practicalities for overcoming these in order to provide high-quality oral healthcare to an aging population.</p>Content: <br>Chapter 1 Theories and Significance of Oral Health in Frailty (pages 1–12): Joanie Sims‐Gould, Mario A.
