Gum Health Day 2020 says 'No' to bleeding gums

Abstract

A study aiming to explore how patients and dentists make decisions about dental care for people living with dementia at all stages has launched. The 'Dental Decisions' study is led by Andrew Geddis-Regan, a National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Doctoral Research Fellow & Hon. Special Care Dentist, and supervised by a multidisciplinary team, at Newcastle University. This project, funded by NIHR as a Doctoral Fellowship, aims to work out how the decision-making process could be easier for patients living with dementia, carers and dentists.
