NOHP Puducherry - Geriatric Oral Health Awareness lecture at General Hospital Mahe

The National Oral Health Programme (NOHP) Puducherry organized a Geriatric Oral Health Awareness Lecture at Government Hospital (GH), Mahe, focusing on the oral health needs of the elderly population. As aging is often associated with various dental and systemic health challenges, this session aimed to educate senior citizens, caregivers, and healthcare professionals about the importance of maintaining oral hygiene in old age. By educating senior citizens, caregivers, and healthcare workers, the session promoted preventive care, early intervention, and improved quality of life for older adults. A healthy mouth contributes to a healthier aging process, making geriatric oral health awareness a key component of holistic elderly care. 21 benefitted
