Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive and associated with aging neurodegenerative disease. Most Parkinson?s patients are old and are less likely to opt for dental treatments except for emergencies. Oral health is contingent upon oral hygiene, which requires a series of simple and complex hand movements. Oral health problems among patients with Parkinson's are complex and requires the involvement of physicians, dentists, patients and also their caregivers.
