Title: Oral care in palliative medicine

Abstract

Oral manifestation in an increasing number of palliative care patients are often neglected. Dental practitioners are not usually part of the team involved in palliative care. Oral care is often inadequately delivered to palliative care patients, while can affect the quality of life both physically and emotionally. Mouth care should be part of daily routine care for all patients. Every patient with a terminal illness should be assessed for mouth problems regularly. In my presentation, I will explain the impact of oral care in palliative medicine and how to diagnose and manage mouth problems.
