Geriatrics, is a specialty that focuses on health care of elderly people. It aims to promote health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities in older adults. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set 55 as the beginning of old age. Living a long life can be attributed to a number of factors, such as improvements in the standard of living, better sanitation, nutrition, and healthier lifestyles. This review discusses on the importance of evaluating the oral health of the geriatric population in a detailed manner, beyond simple clinical assessments to look for, understand and diagnose possible signs and symptoms or oral pathoses in the elderly.
