The April issue of the Journal of the California Dental Association explores the oral health issues of older adults. Articles discuss three models of elderly patient care that have sought to overcome barriers to the integration of medicine and dentistry; a conceptual framework for a broad public health approach to improving the oral health of older adults; recommendations for dental education to prepare practitioners to care for older adults; and the need for a dental benefit in Medicare.
The Journal is an award-winning peer-reviewed scientific publication that keeps dentists up to date about scientific advances, business management strategies and new products.
