Oral care and hygiene is an important strategy in reducing the patient's risk of developing aspiration bacterial pneumonia. It can reduce the oral microbial load, remove foul smelling odor, maintain oral health (healthy teeth, gums, tongue & inner cheeks), and prevent oral health problems. Verbal communication and socialization also become pleasant experiences. If you have loved ones with complex disability due to various health conditions (e.g., stroke patients, neuro degenerative diseases, cerebral palsy, sjogren syndrome, scleroderma, dry mouth etc) that might have concomitant problems such poor oral care, foul smelling breath and/dry mouth, please visit our clinic for Rehabilitation Medicine assessment, referral (ENT, rheumatology, occupational therapy, speech and language pathology, & dental service) and management.
