Carole Houston will be speaking in the Dental Nurses Forum at the British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show 2018.
About her session entitled “Free dental treatment for Blackpool’s most needy”, Carole comments:
“I think my lecture topic is relevant for professionals right now, because there is a growing community of people in the UK with addiction, mental health and homelessness issues. Dental care isn’t a priority for them and many are therefore living with oral diseases, rotting molars and the embarrassment of ugly teeth.
“I aim to demonstrate that it is relatively simple to reach out to this community by bringing dental care to them, in a safe environment.
“I hope delegates will understand a little more about mental health issues connected with addiction/recovery and be less frightened of offering preventative care in the community, using volunteer dentists and dental care practitioners.”
Supported and chaired by the British Association of Dental Nurses (BADN), the Dental Nurses Forum will host an array of first-class speakers, including Diane Rochford, Deborah Lyle, Katy Kerr and Leonora Ward, among others.
