title: The City of Toronto's geriatric dental program.
abstract: The past four years have witnessed the development of a comprehensive dental program for the seniors of the City of Toronto. This program is based upon the principles of dental health promotion and prevention. It recognizes the distinct needs of seniors who are institutionalized. It also addresses the needs of those low-income seniors living in the community. The overall result is an integrated program aimed at improving the dental health of all seniors in Toronto.
