[Dysphagia] Management of the ageing swallow

[Tamsin.WEST at svhm.org.au (WEST Tamsin (SVHM))]

	Hello,

	I was wondering (hoping!) the listserve might be able to offer some assistance. A colleague of mine is completing a presentation on management of the ageing swallow/deconditioning. She was looking for references/articles/evidence to support the idea that poor oral health can affect the swallow process.  (not that it is an indicator for dysphagia). Does anyone have any good references? Possibly along the lines of changes in taste/sensation/oral awareness/bolus formation etc??  I know this is very general but any help would be appreciated. Thankyou,
	Tamsin.
