This can be a challenging time for those of us caring for our loved ones, being both emotionally and physically demanding. At this stage the oral cavity undergoes rapid changes with adverse effects. However, there are procedures that can alleviate the symptons. During this topic we offer advice and guidence on applying the most appropriate oral health care. This is two fold, one for the patient in receiving comfort physically and emotionally, secondly giving the carer confidence, and peace of mind that they are able to administer the best possible care for their loved ones.
