Dental nurses with an oral health education qualification play a vital role in educating patients on the importance of oral health. The best way to utilise this qualification is by planning and carrying out oral health education sessions regularly. These can be one-on-one with patients in practice or in a group environment in the wider community. Regardless of the setting, these sessions require good organisation and planning to ensure a structured session is delivered with effective learning.  

Oral health education isn't just about brushing and flossing; it's about empowering people to live healthier, happier lives. Dental nurses are at the heart of this mission, and we believe they can be a driving force for positive change in our communities.

Join us for our next free webinar. Understanding the vital role of the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Lead in dental practice is more crucial than ever. This role isn't just about knowledge; it's about leadership and the ability to implement change.

The CQC states: ‘There should be an IPC lead with overall responsibility for infection prevention and control and the authority to lead and implement change where needed.’
