This is a trial site, the actual version will be in the dentalhaleth service website, as my feedback is not many have enough time. There are five short 2-3 minute videos with a question and answer section, so each section should take five minutes.
MOODLE VIDEOS AND TEXT
This introductory video is under two minutes long and features a variety of content I've created over the years, which will be included in the course. Most of the videos are available on the Teeth4Life YouTube channel—please subscribe and explore information on any dental topics that interest you.
While this course is designed to support carers, the initial videos are relevant to anyone with teeth. Please share them with family and friends, and feel free to try the quiz! I can't promise prizes, but it could help you avoid dental pain and avoidable expense when visiting your dentist.
Remember to visit your dentist regularly; early diagnosis improves outcomes for all health issues. The mouth is the body's sentinel, and your trusted dental team can serve as vital health advocates our modern fully integrated healthcare system our society needs.
From the video there are five questions,
1. What year did I qualify as a dentist?
a)1959, b)1982, c)2020

I'm wondering if there is a way to addd a drop down menu as in 3d-dental.co.uk and it would be available for free on the website. To encourage the person using it? Some of the answers can be odd and it would encourage the user to view them, and be cheaper than Moodle cloud etc. I had hoped the button text would work, but it isn't an option.

Response
1.
Why do we clean the denture, and ideally leave it out of a night, kept dry in a box which had the residents name, and ideally the denture has the residents identification on it.
- To remove the biofilm
- To let the gums recover
- Avoid Decay
Response
- Correct. Just like teeth, Dental plaque between our Call the biofilm attaches to the denture. Its unlikely that there is any unhealthy bugs on the baiting surface. There can be a massive accumulation open healthy bacteria on the fitting surface of the denture. So these need to be removed regularly.
- Correct. if you have a cut on your skin, you protect the cut to the skin with a plaster. But if the plaster isn't removed, the wound washed and new plaster used the skin becomes red and inflamed. The same happens with a denture. You can end up with the clinical term a “denture sore mouth”.
- Wrong. clearly the acrylic teeth on a denture can't decay. However, leaving the denture out of the night and removing before you clean any retained natural teeth in the mouth will help prevent further tooth decay avoiding further tooth extractions and needing a new denture.v
2. Why don’t we use toothpaste to clean dentures?
- It’s too expensive
- It damages the denture
- It whitens the teeth
Response
- Wrong. it's confusing with toothpaste as there are a huge variety and range of costs. They are some dentures specific denture cleaning products. Just check that they are suitable if you're using them to clean any metal dentures.
- Correct. generally modern toothpaste or less abrasive them from years ago, they still can damage the acrylic from which the denture is made and therefore readily available soap or cleaning gel may be safer to use.
- Wrong. whitening toothpastes do not whiten natural teeth, you need a specific whitening gel in a customised tray. Soaking dentures overnight in denture cleaning fluid will eventually whiten the teeth and the gums making the appearance deteriorate more rapidly.
3. What changes are you looking for in the mouth?
- Ulcers
- Food Debris
- Red and White patches
Response
- Correct. Most ulcers are due to trauma probably hot food or biting your cheek while eating. However, if they persist it may be something more sinister, or simply a poorly fitting denture. Take a photo last more than three weeks see some professional advice.
- Correct. food as well as harmful bacteria can be inhaled rather than ingested. it could cause the resident to choke with severe consequences.
- Correct. inside the mouse is still skin and just like the skin on your arm any increase in redness isa sign of inflammation. occasionally you get white patches in the mouth, and these also may need professional advice if they persist to check there is no underlying problem.
- What is the name of resources to find further details on oral health?
- YouTube Teethforlife
- care4teeth.net
- DentalHealthService.co.uk
RESPONSE
- No, I often make this mistake. At the time when I made the dental app for my patients people used to put numeral into titles. The app is called Teeth4life and may still be available on the App Store. It was on Google play. I hope to make a new one called DHS.
- No. The website I made following my dad's progressing dementia was to support carers and as it made no money, and it was very successful in this aim it was called care4teeth.org as it wasn't a business. I will close it in the next year and integrated into dentalhealthservice.net.
- YES and NO. I bought the domain dentalhealthservice.co.uk awhile back, and was going to use it with some prospective partners. While I was waiting for them, I made a test site called dentalhealthservice.net. So ultimately I'll use both domains just one site
From chat gpt
### What Resources Can I Use to Find Further Information on Oral Health?
**Answer:** Here are three resources that provide valuable information on oral health:
- **YouTube:** Search for the channel **Teeth4Life**.
- **Website:** [care4teeth.net](http://care4teeth.net)
- **Website:** [DentalHealthService.co.uk](http://DentalHealthService.co.uk)
### Additional Info:
I used to make the mistake of including numerals in titles. The app I developed for my patients is called **Teeth4Life**, and it may still be available on the App Store. It was previously on Google Play, and I plan to create a new app called DHS.
The website I created to support caregivers during my father's progression with dementia is **care4teeth.org**. While it was successful in its goal, it wasn't a business venture, so I plan to close it within the next year and integrate its content into **dentalhealthservice.net**.
As for the **DentalHealthService.co.uk** domain, I acquired it some time ago with the intention of collaborating with prospective partners. While waiting, I developed a test site called **dentalhealthservice.net**. Ultimately, I plan to use both domains for one cohesive website.

but then some people didn't like it so
they put a bigger head on which was less

oscillating rotating brush then one like

different types you don't need the most
expensive is how you use them that
counts so for this particular brand you
can get these inter Dental heads and
they're really useful because to get to
between the embra of your teeth often
the toothbrush doesn't quite go there
especially if you don't angle it and
Vary the way they hold your
brush use correctly these are as good as
any brush it's using them correctly
about four years ago I bought one of
these I've just got a new one which is
better but this is very good and it's
really I got it to see how it worked for
carers so with lots of brushes they say
change in in 3 months the real thing is
this is a replacement head that I had
you can see that the color started to go
but the main thing is if you can see the
bristles starting to spread that's the
time to change it and
also tone cleaners you can use we're
always Tau to you I was taught years ago
that the best thing to clean your tongue
with was just was a teaspoon but we now
get these and I'd use them I'd say twice
a
week inter dental cleaning well that's
the best thing to keep yourself healthy
but It's Tricky if you're trying to do
someone else so I I really like these
silicon brushes uh and you know the
Brand's very famous and so the Silicon
tips and they come in a variety of
colors and then there's the the brush
which are probably the best um and but
if you're in a care home looking after
someone else's teeth you probably need
something like this if you do anything
at all these flosses are very good but I
don't think they're applicable for doing
someone else cuz you do yourself a lot
of damage never mind someone
else and the so there are loads of
different types of incidental brushes
you can get I got these and you can see
I didn't really like trying them out
even they were a bit too severe but I'm
sure there are lots of other brands out
there it's just that yeah I'm not trying
but clearly put the brands on so as I
said before I thought this was a really
good uh head for the toothbrush mention
there and you you just want to keep the
head relatively small on all
toothbrushes and more recently they
brought out these while you'd think
they'd be great the first ones they
brought out kept failing and there's no
evidence to show they're any better than
anything else but they're a lot better
than nothing at all they're just very
messy and so finally these are some
videos that you can look out for the
implements that I said just go on to
YouTube and type in well inter Dental
for the incidental brushes or
toothbrushing for the toothbrushing and
you'll get some information on how to
use them
Is there a way to do it automatic or add the captions as the video is palyed?
this video is just to go through what
kind of things you need to keep
someone's mouth
clean and it is really confusing there a
huge amount of
materials promoted but which one should
you
have
so I've had a lot of toothbrushes in the
past this is one of the first and it was
good cuz it had a small rotating head
but then some people didn't like it so
they put a bigger head on which was less
effective so ideally if you have the
oscillating rotating brush then one like
this is best and they bring out all
different types you don't need the most
expensive is how you use them that
counts so for this particular brand you
can get these inter Dental heads and
they're really useful because to get to
between the embra of your teeth often
the toothbrush doesn't quite go there
especially if you don't angle it and
