My 96-year old mother lives with advanced Alzheimer's Disease. She no longer leaves the house due to high anxiety and confusion. So I can no longer take her to a dentist for routine dental exams and care. Despite her age, she has all her own teeth and has never had dental problems. I am nevertheless concerned. Does anyone have any suggestions? Are there things I can do at home to promote her oral health?
I would meet with a dentist who treats dementia patients frequently and try to come up with a plan. I realize your mom is 96, but I would still work in order to avoid something like oral surgery.
