Christine Hancock Founder and Director of C3, Collaborating for Health is joined by Jill Iliffe, Executive Secretary, Commonwealth Nurses and Midwifery Federation to discuss 'Why doesn't everyone brush their teeth as part of the Diabetes and Oral Health Series.

A 40-minute live webinar that will be recorded and made available on demand.

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.
