Description: This practical webinar will equip attendees with clear strategies and tips for supporting people who are reluctant to participate in mouth care. Drawing on NHS Scotland guidance, we 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.
