Geriatric Dentistry and Special Needs Care

Geriatric Dentistry and Special Needs Care focuses on providing comprehensive oral healthcare to aging populations and individuals with physical, developmental, cognitive, or emotional impairments. As life expectancy increases globally, the demand for tailored dental care for elderly patients is growing. Aging often brings unique challenges such as tooth loss, dry mouth, root caries, periodontal disease, oral cancer risk, and complications from medications or systemic conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Geriatric dentistry addresses these issues with a compassionate, multidisciplinary approach aimed at maintaining function, comfort, and quality of life. Special needs dentistry caters to patients with conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, and other chronic health issues that may affect communication, cooperation, and oral hygiene. Dentists in this field require specialized training, equipment, and treatment planning strategies that accommodate behavioural and physical limitations, often in coordination with caregivers and other healthcare providers.
