Description

Dental care and dentures refer to the maintenance of oral health and the use of artificial devices to replace missing teeth. This includes regular dental check-ups, cleanings, and the fitting of dentures to improve functionality and aesthetics for patients with tooth loss.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to dentures using various terms, such as 'postizos' or 'falsos dientes', which are colloquial. It is important to maintain a formal register and use 'dentaduras' in clinical contexts to avoid confusion. Ensure clarity when discussing the differences between dental care and the fitting of dentures.
