Teeth and mouth care - information for residents, families and carers
A translated resource with information about caring for people living in or visiting the residential aged care facility.
Bad teeth, dentures that don’t fit well or a sore mouth can cause health problems. You may lose weight if it is hard or painful for you to eat. Problems can happen with your own teeth or dentures, as well as your mouth, tongue, lips or gums.
Problems with your teeth and mouth can often be prevented.
