A parent asks if you recommend raisins. You pull up the nutrition information of one raisin box. Looking at the sugar content, how would you explain to a patient how much sugar is in one box? 🤔

Swipe to see the nutrition information ➡️, then drop your answer in the comments 💬.

🎓 Last week we ran a webinar on nutrition for all our oral health and fluoride varnish students. You can register for free access until Friday ⏰, so be sure to sign up right away. Once registered, you'll have one month to complete the course, with one hour of verifiable CPD awarded!

In the course, you'll learn how to:

- Read food labels and spot hidden sugars and their many aliases.
- See through "healthy" marketing and the health halo effect
- Explain why how often we eat sugar matters, not just how much.
- Have honest, factual conversations with parents in a warm, non-judgemental way

Why does a practice need an IPC lead?

An IPC lead is a legal role, every practice is required to have one.

This is the person who takes control of infection prevention and control, monitors it day to day, and makes sure the practice stays compliant with all the rules and regulations.

If you're interested in formal accredited training, see our accredited IPC Lead courses at dentalnursenetwork.com

FREE WEBINAR for dental nurses 🦷

From Contract Change to Clinic: Fluoride Varnish in Real Practice
📅 Wednesday 3rd June, 7:30 pm
💻 Online, live with Q&A

The new NHS contract changes mean suitably trained dental nurses can now apply fluoride varnish to children as a standalone course of treatment, in between examinations.

This is a big shift for dental nursing, and this webinar looks at what it actually means in real practice. It is led by an experienced teacher who has implemented it within her own workplace.

We cover why this change matters, why it is such a step forward for dental nurses, and how it works in practice, including claiming UDAs.

Can't make it live? Register anyway and we will send you the recording.
