Background and study aims After a stroke, many people find it difficult to clean their mouth, which can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, pain, infections, and other health problems. This study aims to see whether using a powered toothbrush, along with personalised oral care advice, can help people improve their oral hygiene. Who can participate? Residents of the rehabilitation unit at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability who have had a stroke. What does the study involve? Participants will learn how to use a powered toothbrush and take part in short interviews and observations about their mouth care routine. Staff and carers will receive brief training to support residents. Oral health will be assessed before and after using the powered toothbrush to see if it helps.

Domiciliary dental care is vital ā€” it reaches those who canā€™t get to a clinic. Yet itā€™s too often an afterthought in planning. One day weā€™ll all (hopefully) be older ā€” will the system be ready to provide the care weā€™d want for ourselves? #OralHealth nature.com/articles/s41415-0ā€¦
