Abstract
Mouth care across age groups, whether independently carried out or with assistance from a nurse, is frequently not considered in relation to the health of the mouth before commencement. This need for assessment and a schema as a baseline should dictate the most appropriate tools and the method of intervention. With a nursing model by Roper based on a model of living, nursing interventions are indicated across three age groups.Keywords
