Bedside Oral Health

Every resident gets daily mouth care. Every aide knows how.

About 1 in 10 pneumonia deaths in nursing home residents may be prevented by better oral hygiene. Sjögren et al., 2008

Tip of the day: sit the resident up to 60–90° before you start. Flat is an automatic fail on the state test.

Dentures come out at night, get cleaned with cool water and denture cleanser, and go back in a labeled cup, wet.
