Topics

Healthy Ageing: From Talk to Walk

We know the population is aging. We know our patients are retaining more natural teeth and complex dentistry. We also know from the research, our own clinical experience, and the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, that our seniors are very often suffering from poor oral health that significantly impacts their quality of life and dignity. Advances in digital and portable technology have created an opportunity for our profession to extend our services outside the walls of our fixed practices, offer a new source of revenue and assist our patients enjoy their twilight years with the respect and comfort they deserve.

Learning objectives:
  • Hear an executive summary of the Royal Commission and Aged Care Commission oral health recommendations.
  • Learn the importance and clinical implications of preparing our patients for healthy ageing.
  • Observe a “real world” portable dental service start up.
  • Learn the latest in Oral Health and Hygiene education and workshops for Aged Care workers.
