Diabetes and Oral Health:
A two way relationship
- To give healthcare professionals information, so that they understand the importance of providing people with diabetes education regarding their oral health
- To understand the potential bi-directional relationship between diabetes and poor oral health
- For health care professionals to undertake and oral assessment as part of the diabetes annual review
Delivered by Diabetes Specialist Nurse Judy Downey RGN BSc(Hons)
A 40-minute live webinar that will be recorded and made available on demand.
Nurses and midwives are in a unique position to raise awareness about the importance of oral health and provide oral health education to individuals, families and communities. Implementing preventive measures early will alleviate individual pain, discomfort and disfigurement and reduce the economic burden of oral diseases on individuals and the health system.
