Alzheimer’s disease may be linked to oral health and certain bacteria that are found in the mouth (oral bacteria).

We want to see if keeping teeth and gums clean in people living with memory loss can slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

We are looking for people to take part in this study who have:

• A diagnosis of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease or mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
• Are aged 60 years or above
• An interest in improving oral (gum) health.
