More than a mouth to clean: Case studies of oral health care in an Australian hospital.
Joanne MurrayJasmine PaunovicSarah C HunterPublished in: Gerodontology (2024)
Clinical observations of patient's oral health status might not match the patient's own judgement of their oral health and, if not explicitly addressed, may mask the need for oral health and hygiene intervention. Assessment and care planning needs to incorporate patients' own perceptions of their oral health and existing oral health care routines. Oral health histories may provide a means of facilitating this person-centred oral health care for older patients in hospital.
