Oral Healthcare Awareness

Oral healthcare can affect comfort, eating, communication and confidence. Explore how to support personal routines respectfully, recognise concerns and involve the person in decisions, helping staff make oral care a thoughtful part of everyday support rather than an overlooked task.

Consider individual preferences, communication and the level of assistance someone needs. Care-based discussion focuses on dignity, consistent routines and sharing relevant observations, helping teams understand when a change should be raised and how agreed arrangements can support a more positive experience.
