Caregivers' Ultimate Guide to Performing Oral Care
Oral hygiene is essential to overall health, yet many seniors struggle with dental care due to mobility limits, chronic conditions, or lack of access to regular dental services. Without proper support, oral problems can escalate into infections, pain, poor nutrition, and serious health complications. Many caregivers want to help but lack the confidence or training to perform oral care correctly.
The Oral Hygiene Training Course teaches caregivers how to deliver safe, effective, and comfortable mouth care for elderly clients. Learners explore common oral health issues, how to choose the right dental products, proper step-by-step cleaning techniques, and how to assist clients with dementia or limited mobility. Each lesson gives caregivers the practical skills to prevent dental problems before they become emergencies.
By the end of this course, caregivers will know how to support healthier mouths, reduce the risk of complications, and help clients feel clean, comfortable, and confident. Better oral care means better overall wellbeing—and stronger trust in your care team.
