Introduction

Caring For Your Mouth is a dental health education title produced in association with the British Dental Health Foundation. Centred around 10 concise videos, it is designed to help dentists, hygienists and health educators inform their patients about the essentials of oral hygiene and related subjects quickly, easily and with minimum fuss.

The videos are available for use within the practice or similar setting on VHS tape, DVD and interactive CD-ROM. They are also available for patients to view away from the practice on VHS tape or from your web site as "streaming media".

There are specially discounted packs that comprise the DVD or CD-ROM with video tapes so that advice given in the practice can be reinforced at home. Now there is no excuse!
