What is oral frail?
Oral frail is a condition in which the function of the mouth is reduced.
- Tongue degradation
- Eating spills, slight increase
- The number of foods that cannot be chewed increases

Such symptoms appear. If left unchecked, it may lead to a need for nursing care, but it is also possible to return to a healthier state if you notice it early and take appropriate measures.
Specifically, please see HP (outside site) of Kanagawa.
