Oral hygiene is important for patients’ health and well-being for a variety of reasons. The mouth is vital for eating, drinking, taste, breathing, verbal and non- verbal communication, saliva also has antibacterial properties and is part of the body’s defense against infection

This is very sad to hear. Lack of access has an impact on vulnerable groups including the older population/More pressure on salaried and hospital dental services/ negative impact on general health as a result of poor oral health
Our @HenrikGDPC on @SkyNews. "The minister for dentistry says hasn't got time to meet me. He hasn't got time to deal with the million people who can't find an NHS dentist. If he had toothache, he'd find the time." @BrineMinister

30 minutes is never enough time. Need to get #oralhealth onto the medical curriculum. Lots of enthusiasm for this. 30 minutes is hopefully sufficient to learn that nystatin and chlorhexidine does not cure every #oralhealth problem
Looking forward to speaking about why good #oralhealth is so important for the older population and the links to #nutrition #pneumonia #dignity and more #bsgconf #@GeriSoc @Gerodontology @MCM_HEKSS

Further cold weather warnings have been issued bringing with them an extra risk of falls during icy and snowy conditions. Please take extra care. If you require care consider one of these other options before coming to ED #HelpUsHelpYou

A brilliant first meeting of the Adult Oral Health Oversight Group (AOHOG) today with stakeholders from across the system where we agreed an ambition: “All adults have a healthy mouth as part of living well”. Thereby improving oral health and reducing oral health inequalities.

Kindness, most important part of care
Kindness matters. It is not fluffy or something that gets lost the more stressed people get. It needs to be taken seriously if we are going to be serious about keeping patients safe. Read more here

“If government intends to put the mouth back in the body they need to work with us on these issues and more.Dentists need resources and a coherent plan.The alternative is to keep treating dentistry as an afterthought, and let the NHS pay the price” Mick Armstrong @TheBDA
