Abstract

The following article offers an update on the topic of elder abuse. As the baby boomer generation ages, the number of elderly patients seeking all forms of dentistry will increase. This article is designed to inform dentists of their responsibility to the entire health of their patients. Guidelines and suggestions are made to ensure that dentists are able to diagnose and manage patients that may be in an abusive relationship.
