Quality of life is an important issue for geriatric patients. Allowing periodontal disease, fractured teeth, and neoplasia to remain untreated decreases this quality of life. Age itself should be recognized; however, it should not be a deterrent to successful veterinary dental care.
生活质量对老年患者来说是一个重要问题。任由牙周病、牙齿折断和肿瘤不进行治疗会降低生活质量。年龄本身应该被认识到；然而，它不应成为成功进行兽医牙科护理的阻碍。
