Mouth care matters more than people realise — especially for people living with dementia
As dementia progresses, daily oral care can become confusing, uncomfortable, or even distressing. But good mouth care isn’t just about teeth it supports comfort, dignity, nutrition, and overall health.
Poor oral health can lead to pain, infections, difficulty eating, and changes in behaviour that are often misunderstood. With patience, gentle support, and the right approach, mouth care can be made calmer, kinder, and more familiar.
At home care, we take the time to understand each person’s needs, routines, and preferences because even the smallest acts of care make a big difference.
