WHITE PAPER: PREVENT MORE TO TREAT LESS
The College of Dental Hygienists of Nova Scotia has commissioned a White Paper:
BRUSHING UP ON MOUTH CARE
On December 4, 2018, the Brushing up on Mouth Care website was relaunched after being redesigned. This website has a suite of updated open access resources to support the delivery of optimum daily mouth care for those who may be dependent on others for their care. This includes a link to Nova Scotia Dept of Health and Wellness’s Long-Term Care Requirements (including oral care). There are sections for health care professionals, administrators, educators and family/care givers. Check it out at http://brushingup.ca/
