A subject favourite !!

Hello !!! 😜 My favorite subject this semester is "Clinic of the Elderly"👴👵, it is very interesting and fun.

In classes, we've seen the importance that elders have in society and how this age group has increased through the years. Thus, national politics have changed accordingly. We must consider elders integral beings that have different needs, and it is also important to take into account that life expectancy has increased, so they have to be incorporated in society as active beings.

Within these topics is where dentistry takes relevance, because even if life expectancy increases, not so much life quality. In the subject of "Clinic of the Elderly" they teach us to help people improving their life quality, how we can make ourselves part of their life and how to colaborate with them in the best way possible.

Within the topics we've studied in class there's psychology of the elderly, physiological changes, nutrition, fragility in the elderly, poly-pharmacy and how this affects their multiple diseases.

I think this whole topic is a big challenge, that's why we should be empowered and make ourselves part of the change Chilean population has suffered, and dentistry has an important role in the life quality and health of people.
