  • What is the difference between a Dental Care Professional (DCP) and a dentist?
    A Dental Care Professional (DCP) is different from a dentist. DCPs, such as dental hygienists and dental hygiene therapists, are qualified to perform specific dental care tasks and are eligible for GDC registration. They provide oral health education, tailored mouth care, and support to care staff. DCPs are essential in our training programs, helping care home staff deliver excellent oral care and uphold high standards in care homes across the UK. For more details, visit the General Dental Council website.
  • How can I get more details about the 3-day programme?
    To get more details about our 3-day programme, please use the contact form on our website to arrange a call. We'll need specific information about your care home to plan the site visits with minimal disruption. After gathering this information, we'll provide a detailed 3-day plan tailored to your organization. Our programme ensures compliance with NICE guidelines and aims to enhance oral care standards in your facility.

  • Do participants receive a certificate after training?
    Yes, every staff member who participates in an in-house training session will receive a certificate, which will be sent to the care home. Additionally, the care home will be awarded a certificate upon completing the 3-day programme. These certificates demonstrate a commitment to high standards of oral care and compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • Can DCPs perform oral health assessments for all residents?
