Abstract

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.

摘要

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。
