Free online course: Oral Health in General Practice

This free online course is aimed at General Practitioners and the GP team to give an overview of the importance of good oral healthcare and its implications on general health.

Oral health is not just about teeth. There is growing evidence to show that poor oral health plays a significant role in systemic disease, for example diabetes and heart disease. Good oral health can also make a significant contribution to reducing the number of emergency and hospital appointments, impacting on valuable health worker time and NHS resources. All front line primary and secondary care staff can do their part by increasing awareness about the importance of good oral health.
