Improving Senior Oral Health in Stockholm

Two politicians from the Moderate and Liberal parties have inquired with the Elderly Care Administration about how good oral health is ensured for seniors in Stockholm's elderly care. They emphasize the National Board of Health and Welfare's report on the importance of dental care for the elderly and that staff in elderly care should receive professional development through "Äldreomsorgslyftet" (Elderly Care Lift). The Administration responds that oral health is an integrated part of the nursing assistant training and that Äldreomsorgslyftet contributes to staff gaining relevant knowledge to provide good oral care for seniors.
