The number of older people is growing, with many retaining their own teeth into old age. This brings new issues in terms of providing care for these individuals. A free workshop for health and care staff in Thames Valley and Wessex will cover the impact of poor oral health on all age groups and how to put plans in place for providing mouth care to maintain an individual’s oral health. The workshop will be presented by Katy Kerr, Regional Dental Adviser, Health Education England, Thames Valley and Wessex.
