Oral Hygiene

Welcome to this Dentaljuce course on Oral Hygiene.

Our course on Oral Hygiene, incorporating insights from the 'Delivering better oral health' toolkit by NHS England, offers a comprehensive exploration of oral hygiene principles essential for dental professionals. Covering a broad spectrum of topics, it looks into the findings of UK Dental Health Surveys and discusses common dental issues such as caries, periodontal diseases, and tooth wear.

The course provides detailed guidance on oral hygiene advice, tailored to various demographic groups including the general population, children, perio patients, and those with dentures. Special attention is given to the needs of vulnerable groups, ensuring inclusive care practices.

The course also examines the effectiveness and suitability of powered versus manual toothbrushes, interdental cleaning techniques, and the emerging topic of sustainable toothbrushes.

This course is designed to enhance the practical skills and knowledge of dental professionals, ensuring their ability to deliver top-tier oral hygiene advice and care.
