The ‘Dental Health Promotion’ session, within the e-learning for the Healthy Child Programme, is designed for the early years workforce, including health visitors, nurses and the child health team working with pregnant mothers and 0-5 year olds . It aims to increase knowledge and skills relating to oral health, and increase awareness of the factors contributing to poor oral health. It reflects the evidence within the Delivering Better Oral Health toolkit and provides a video for health visitors supporting families with tooth brushing.
‘Improving Mouth Care’ is an e-learning package for healthcare professionals involved in mouth care. Although it has probably been designed for adult mouth care, it includes simple retainable advice for care workers and a unit on mouth care for people with additional needs, which could be transferable to children in some cases.
