Description

Oral disease affects 3.9 billion people worldwide, with untreated tooth decay impacting almost half of the world’s population (44%), making it the most prevalent of all the 291 conditions included in the Global Burden of Disease Study. This online Oral Health training course is vital not only to the oral health of your clients but to their general health. Poor oral hygiene can cause oral diseases, such as respiratory infections, cardiovascular disease and diabetic complications. It’s not just about having pearly whites, having your staff know about oral health and how to care properly could save the lives of your clients.

This Oral Health training will teach care staff the importance of oral health and its potential effect on general health, how to treat those who can’t articulate their pain or distress, how to deliver daily mouth care, know when and how to report any concerns, and the importance of denture marking. Upon successful completion, learners will gain an Oral Health Awareness certificate, which can be used as evidence of learning by inspectors.
