Oral Care in Palliative Treatment

Making patients comfortable when there's not much else that can be done requires round-the-clock care, as well as assiduous attention to the small things that people can no longer take care of themselves. Oral health is an oft-ignored area of this, seeming small as it does against some of the other areas.
