Caregivers may have to assist with dental care
|
|
|
An individual living with Alzheimer's or another dementia may forget how to brush his or her teeth or forget why it's important. As a caregiver, you may have to take a more hands-on approach. Proper oral care is necessary to prevent eating difficulties, digestive problems and infections.
