Mind your teeth —The relationship between mastication and cognition
This article explores the multifactorial relationship between mastication and cognition, with a focus on dementia. Older persons, especially those with dementia, are at great risk of suffering from oral health problems such as orofacial pain and loss of natural teeth. A possible explanation could be that the cognitive and motor impairments resulting from dementia cause a decrease in self ‐care and as such, a worsening of oral health.

Multiple oral ulcers caused by incorrect use of oral bisphosphonate in a patient with dementia: A case report
It is not widely known that incorrect use of oral bisphosphonates (BPs), such as chewing the medication, can cause oral ulcers. An 83 ‐year‐old woman with dementia was referred to our clinic with multiple oral ulcers. Blood and histopathological examinations were inconclusive. Further questioning revealed that the patient chewed the oral BP, resulting in oral ulceration.
