Presenter: Jane Peterson, Dental hygienist with a special interest in gerodontology. Founder of Knowledge Oral Health Care
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. Attendees will learn how to use simple cues, improve communication, and adapt their approach when understanding or cooperation is limited.

We will explore the unique needs of children and young people, current gaps in tailored support and awareness, and the significant impact dementia has on their lives. The session will also examine family approaches to diagnosis and share Dementia UK’s new awareness film, designed to spark conversation, raise awareness, and deepen understanding.
