Oral care with meaning

We improve kidney patients' oral hygiene with workshops for nurses

We would like to teach nurses how to perform systematic oral hygiene on patients, as studies show that this allows us to minimize hospitalization time and reduce the number of readmissions with e.g. pneumonia or other systemic diseases. Likewise, mortality will decrease and more patients will retain more of their own teeth. We have seen that there is a big problem here that cannot be solved simply by talking about it. Action is needed, and that is what we believe we can offer with our idea.
