Part of the new series on Diabetes and Oral Health:
When and why should nurses look in mouths?
Michaela, founder of Learn With Nurses is joined by Diabetes Nurse Specialist Judy Downey to discuss nurses and oral health care with a focus on the 2-way relationship with diabetes:
What should nurses be looking for inside someone’s mouth?
Practical advice
Why don’t nurses look in mouths?
Challenges and opportunities Care homes, CQC and mouth care.
A missed opportunity for diabetes?
This 40-minute live webinar will be recorded and made available on demand.
Nurses and midwives are in a unique position to raise awareness about the importance of oral health and provide oral health education to individuals, families and communities. Implementing preventive measures early will alleviate individual pain, discomfort and disfigurement and reduce the economic burden of oral diseases on individuals and the health system.
