Assisted and Guided Oral Hygiene, and the Your Special Smiles Oral Hygiene Ability Spectrum: A New Solution for Daily Oral Hygiene in Long-Term Care
We have found that there are two main challenges for caregivers providing daily oral hygiene in long-term care facilities: 1) Finding time to do it, and 2) knowing how to do it. When it comes to knowing how to do it, the solution is easy. We can educate the caregivers. When it comes to finding time to perform oral hygiene it is much more of a challenge. Oral hygiene is only one of the many important tasks caregivers have to perform daily. Our solutions to address these issues are: Assisted Oral Hygiene, Guided Oral Hygiene, and the Your Special Smiles Oral Hygiene Ability Spectrum documentation system. This course will discuss these things and how they improve oral hygiene provision in long-term care.
