In particular, individuals with developmental disabilities, but also some institutionalized elderly people, can have increased choking risk because of: - Decreased or absent protective airway reflexes.17 - Decreased or disordered breathing/swallowing - Poor coordination and oral stage dysphagia - Poor or underdeveloped oral motor skills - Gastro-esophageal reflux disorder (GERD) - Epileptic seizures - Inability to swallow certain fluid consistencies and/or food textures -Medication side effects - Dental or skeletal malocclusion - Impaired mobility - Often need for feeding assistance - Often inability to communicate problems in chewing, swallowing or protective mechanisms Dental health has an impact of on choking too,18 due to teeth or muscle-related factors such as: orofacial/TMJ pain, denture instability, total dentures (upper and lower), severe malocclusion, edentulism or missing several teeth.	cache/bam-11471.pdf	txt/bam-11471.txt
