Material Detail

This visual tool for oral health care (OHC) aids is engaging for both students and patients when learning about preventative oral care. The resource begins with videos explaining oral disease processes and provides a translation tool for content into various languages. The translation tool would be extremely beneficial chairside with patients who may benefit from the information being presented in a language other than English. The list of OHC aids is sufficient for many oral care needs and provides short, detailed videos which include visual and audio demonstrations on how to use each product. Some sections also include links for more detailed information. The oral rinses and toothpaste sections provides some detail about a few different brands, but does not include information on when to recommend each product based on patient needs; links here would be helpful. Arestin is missing content for users to review, the link under "The Benefits of Fluoride" is broken. The videos and additional resources are easy to understand and use little dental terminology. Overall, this resource would be ideal for beginner dental students and chairside for patient education sessions.
