Good oral hygiene habits learned at a young age will help keep a child’s mouth healthy throughout life. This #WorldOralHealthDay, let’s teach our children how to brush and care for their mouths properly. worldoralhealthday.org #MouthProud #WOHD22

On #wohd2022 let’s remember the importance of #mouthcare at the end of life. Oral symptoms can cause pain and distress. A clean and comfortable mouth is important at all stages of life youtu.be/6KB4UkZ-YVM

With the sunny weather finally upon us it is still important to regularly self check for mouth cancer! While you are sunbathing this summer, why not take some time to carry out a mouth cancer self-examination. #SelfCheck #SaveLives

Dr Graham Lloyd-Jones Agree, this happens in all medical settings as a result of minimal #oralhealth education at an undergraduate or postgraduate training. MouthCareMatters was good for locally getting on all medical training events but this needs to be on a curriculum to makes sustainable changes
