Abstract

People in residential or continuing care have an equal right to good oral health as people residing in the community. Entry to residential or continuing care provides an opportunity to assess need, identify problems, improve oral and dental health thereby contributing to improved general health and quality of life. This document provides guidance to establish standards for oral health care which are appropriate to the needs, demands and choices of individuals whether they live in continuing or residential care (Appendix 5).
