Teaching of gerodontology to dental and dental hygiene therapy students in the UK ⁦@The_BDJ⁩ finds that #gerodontology is often not taught as part of the Undergraduate curriculum - an issue as by 2040 1 in 4 of us will be over 65 ⁦@GDC_UK⁩ https://t.co/ifysAk1wc1

We are really looking forward to our virtual winter meeting on Thursday. From digital exclusion, to denture design to contract reform - a varied programme put together by our fabulous president @erinboy. Two days left to register #bsg2021

[BSG @Gerodontology]

One of the highlights of our Winter conferences was to share the diversity of excellent quality posters submitted. Although we can’t do that in person this year, have a look at our poster finalists #bsg2021 https://t.co/zoPlXVfHTV

@w8charlotte @Gerodontology @DiverseAlz I have experienced many benefits of #teledentistry and the use of photography during the covid-19 pandemic, for patients with dementia #diversealz

[Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz]

What was so encouraging and enlightening about the @Gerodontology was learning how people with dementia can be put at ease or how their treatment can be tackled in under difficult circumstances #diversealz Think this is something we need to hear.

[Brooke Zaidman @ZaidmanBrooke]

@Gerodontology @DiverseAlz @TommyTommytee18 There is also the idea of a ‘denture box’ with silicone putty material. To help identify individual dentures and aid cleaning #diversealz https://t.co/EWI0fSvP3o

[Brooke Zaidman @ZaidmanBrooke]

@Gerodontology @DiverseAlz This is also a live document so as further resources are published they will be added #diversealz

[Brooke Zaidman @ZaidmanBrooke]

@DiverseAlz There are also useful oral health resources on the @alzheimerssoc website for people living with dementia https://t.co/WtBQPAdrpO #diversealz
