This course is designed to provide dental professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide quality dental care for patients with Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior, and can make it difficult for patients to maintain good oral hygiene. As dental professionals, it is important to understand the unique needs and challenges of patients with Alzheimer's disease and to develop effective strategies for providing dental care.
In this course, you will learn about the specific oral health issues that can arise in patients with Alzheimer's disease, such as dry mouth, gum disease, and tooth decay. Participants will also learn about effective communication strategies for working with patients with Alzheimer's disease, including how to establish trust, how to manage behavior, and how to effectively educate patients and caregivers about oral health care. Additionally, the course will cover techniques for adapting dental procedures and techniques to accommodate the needs of patients with Alzheimer's disease, such as sedation and anesthesia.
