Clinical management of geriatric patients can be both blessed and challenging especially when Oral Health is a life-or-death health issue for them. Dr. Folse learned this well through treating nursing facility patients for the past 28 years. This lecture teaches attendees to safely treat aging patients and improve their quality of life. An LSU graduate, Dr. Folse completed the Geriatric Dental Fellowship Program at Baylor and lectures internationally on geriatric dentistry.
