Quick Guide to Better Mouth Care
We have created a simple training course in response to feedback from care home managers in Devon. It consists of six short, five-minute segments, each designed to help improve mouth care for residents.

Many people become caregivers and may feel too embarrassed to ask for advice. This course offers clear, practical guidance to support confident and effective daily mouth care.

Reducing risk of Pneumonias
Every year, over 14,000 dentures are lost in care homes and hospitals. Creating comfortable false teeth for the frail and elderly is particularly challenging. When patients lose dentures they are accustomed to, achieving satisfactory results can be nearly impossible, often requiring at least four weekly visits and incurring significant costs—potentially putting you at risk of liability.

To avoid these challenges, consider having the dentures scanned before they are lost.

​To avoid these challenges, consider having the dentures scanned before they are lost.
To make new dentures in a care home will take over a month at a cost of over £1500.
They will take time to be comfortable and functional.

I attended this annual conference in February 2025 where I met American professors of public dental health and therapists who deliver care. Our dental nurses can significantly improve access to care and overall health. 

Regular dental cleanings by a trained nurse who can scan dentures, take photos, and perform radiographs at home can make a significant difference. They just need the right training and to be made aware of their potential to improve your services and their income.

About me and our DHS
I made this website 8 years ago when my dad entered a dementia unit. I've updated it to include some options that weren't available back then.

This is to try promote all our wellbeing,
something he did throughout his life.
