Description
Pei, Zhou, Tsang, Tai, and Wong review dry mouth in old age and its link to the microbes of the mouth. Their review is from two thousand twenty-four. Dry mouth is common in older adults and brings pain plus a higher risk of tooth decay and mouth infection.
The mouth holds a fine balance of microbes that helps keep it well. When dry mouth breaks that balance, health can worsen in the mouth and past it. The review sets out the make-up, range, and work of mouth microbes in older adults with dry mouth. It also traces how the balance breaks. That ground can guide care plans that lift life quality for older adults.
