"Ageism and Dental Hygiene: Reeducating ourselves for better patient care, research and education"

Deborah S. Manne and Sarah H. Kagan

May is Older Americans Month! This year’s theme, Champion Your Health, is a call to action dental hygienists hear every day in the operatory. Older adults face unique oral health challenges: root caries, dry mouth from polypharmacy, periodontal disease and barriers to accessing care. But there's another barrier worth examining: ageism. How do our assumptions about older patients shape the care we provide, and what can we do about it? Check out this timely guest commentary from the Journal of Dental Hygiene and understand how to show up fully for your older patients.
