CED Releases White Paper on Ageing and Oral Health
The CED white paper on ageing and oral health offers a policy framework relevant to dentists treating older patients across Europe.
The Council of European Dentists (CED) published a white paper on ageing and oral health in November 2025. The paper addresses the growing clinical and policy challenge of providing oral care to an ageing European population, a group with distinct needs that are often underserved within existing healthcare frameworks. Dental professionals working with older patients will find the document relevant as a policy reference and a clinical context document. The white paper is available in English, German, and French through the CED members' library section, suggesting it is aimed at both policymakers and practising dentists across Europe. No specific clinical recommendations or data points are visible in the publicly available portion of the article, as the full content is behind a member login. The CED represents national dental associations across Europe and regularly publishes policy documents intended to shape dental regulation and practice standards at the EU level.
