This includes: advice on oral hygiene practices use of fluoride advice diet, smoking, smokeless tobacco alcohol intake. Ensure the advice is tailored to meet individual needs. Consider delivering oral health improvement messages in a variety of formats and using different media to meet the needs of different groups.
3 3 Dentists and dental care professionals should adopt a patient-centred approach Encourage the dental practice team to develop a good relationship with patients so they can help them maintain good oral health. All staff, including reception and support staff, should understand the importance of creating a welcoming environment for everyone. This includes: families with babies or very young children, children and adults with a physical or sensory impairment. Recognise that contact with those who do not attend regularly (for example, when they attend for emergency care) provides an important opportunity to establish a positive relationship Provide information about how people can find a local dentist or find out if they qualify for free or subsidised NHS dental care Listen to patients' needs and offer tailored advice, without judging them if their oral health is poor or if some of their behaviours adversely affect their health Create an individually tailored dental care plan with the patient or their parent or carer. This should combine strategies to prevent, as well as to treat, oral health problems. To develop the preventive part of the plan, ask about the patient's: personal circumstances and their oral health (in the past and now) to gauge their risk of poor oral health oral hygiene practices and how often they use fluoride behaviours that may affect their oral health in the short or long term, including their diet, smoking, or using smokeless tobacco or alcohol
4 4 existing health conditions or any disabilities or other difficulties that might prevent them from maintaining or improving their own oral health, or the oral health of someone they care for. ensure the patient, or their parent or carer, understands the plan to maintain or improve their oral health.
