Sponsored by Dalarna County Council, Sweden · Observational
Oral Health care has been shown to have low priority among nursing personnel, especially among personnel with shorter education.
As the population gets older and keep their natural teeth high up in age, in most cases throughout life, it is of importance to help the older maintain a good oral health when the cognitive functions and physical ability decreases. In 1999, a new dental care system was introduced with the aim to offer elderly with long-term need for extensive care, home visits for oral health assessment and, if necessary, be offered the necessary dental care. The aim was also to offer nursing personnel education and training in dental health and oral care, in order to provide and perform oral care. The effect of the education program has never been evaluated.
