Dementia Community Event – Transforming Mouth Care Challenges into Success

In this practical webinar Jane Peterson, Founder of Knowledge Oral Health Care, will equip attendees with clear strategies and tips for supporting people who are reluctant to participate in mouth care. Drawing on NHS Scotland guidance, Jane will explore why reluctance occurs and how promoting independence—such as encouraging individuals to brush their own teeth—can reduce distress by restoring a sense of control.

Attendees will learn how to use simple cues, improve communication, and adapt their approach when understanding or cooperation is limited.
