How Can Nurses Educate Patients About Oral Hygiene?
Education is key in preventing dental issues. Nurses can teach patients about the importance of brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and using mouthwash to reduce plaque. They can also inform patients about the harmful effects of smoking and excessive sugar consumption on oral health. Providing resources such as pamphlets, videos, and workshops can further reinforce these messages.
