Brushing up on care: can teaching nursing home staff oral hygiene boost Residents' smiles?

This study looks at whether training nursing home staff in oral care can improve the oral health-related quality of life for elderly residents. About 99 residents aged 65 and older will have their oral health assessed before and 6 months after caregivers receive training. The goal is to see if better caregiver knowledge leads to better resident well-being and less anxiety for staff.
