Oral care in nursing homes

Angie Stone’s book addresses oral hygiene for nursing-home residents and connects daily care practices with broader concerns about health and quality of life. It focuses on the risks the author associates with uncontrolled oral bacteria, then turns to practical, consistent care as a way to help prevent harm. The subject sits at the intersection of dental hygiene and elder care, making oral health the central concern for people involved in supporting or treating older adults.
