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).

Conditions

  • Oral Disease

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Oral screening

The participants in the intervention group will receive an oral examination. Subsequently, information about any identified problem will be given. Lastly, participants will receive a referral letter for their dentist and a report for the general practitioner. If the participants don't have a regular dentist, they will also be given a list with contact information of dentists in the area.
