THE MOUTH
This is a series of videos I created some time ago. While we could use better images, the content is still accurate. Having a basic understanding of anatomy will enhance your care. This was before MouthCareMatters produced their programme.
Following feedback from care home managers, there is too much detail, but they may be of value for dental nurses.
Please look out their free start dates here....https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/mouth-care-matters

Click on the links below for the course modules.
Currently there is a section on how the modules should work. If you have seen if before, just fast forward to the Title page. Remember to record your learning at the end. This list is an outline how I think we can help one another. |

THE ENAMEL
This is a rough draft on how a course could be made. I think there would be 3-5 20 minute videos in each section. For the use of cameras and scanners we would need to run hands on courses. I think they could be ready by the end of summer. All are via link by clicking on picture. |

THE DENTINE
To understand the potential problems, we need to know the structure. At this stage I probably need to improve some of the animations, and in this instance mentioned a little more about how cleaning out teeth becomes more difficult with age. So feedback please. I need to know if this is pitched good enough for it to be of value for you, your family, and the residents under your care. |

THE GUMS
How the gums are directly linked to our general health. I made this using a variety of visuals, and it would be grateful for some feedback. Is it too simple, too complicated, not relevant? We can all help one another. One day someone may be looking after your teeth. What would you want them to do?? Now is your chance to tell them.😁 |
