Oral hygiene care in ALS patients is essential to avoid possible complications
The Spanish Society of Neurology (SEN) estimates that in Spain 1 to 2 new cases of ALS are diagnosed per 100,000 inhabitants per year, making it the third most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. On World ALS Day, which is celebrated today, the General Council of Dentists wants to give visibility to this disease, remembering the importance of oral care in people who suffer from this pathology.
