Brief Summary:
There is little research on the effect of oral screening campaigns for improving oral health in older people Therefore the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a low-threshold contact with an oral health professional including an oral health examination on dental attendance of older people 65 years of age or older
Detailed Description:
The intervention group will be provided with tools to facilitate dental contact and will be informed about the importance of regular dental visits Participants are given the opportunity to receive an oral examination Afterwards each participant will receive brochures with oral hygiene instructions to take home Participants will receive information about any identified oral pathology A referral letter for the dentist and a report for the general practitioner will also be prepared to increase social influence If the participant doesnt have a dentist the participant will receive a list of contact information for dentists in the area
In the control group no oral examination will be performed However participants will be given a list of nearby dentists and flyers with oral hygiene instructions
In this way we want to find out whether the presence of a dental professional with tailored advice is crucial to motivate an elderly person to good oral care
