This course covers the following:

• Assessing, planning oral and dental care
• Supporting independence with oral care
• Caring for older people’s teeth and dentures
• Oral care and dementia

Business Objectives

Brushing our teeth is something we all take for granted, but the ability to tend to oral care can decline with age whilst the risks from poor oral hygiene increase. This learning activity looks at the risks and strategies to develop person centred management including for people with cognitive decline. Oral and Dental Care aligns to Standard 3 of the Aged Care Quality Standards.
