____ | “I am so thankful I took the Mouth Care Matters class! It helped me learn why Janice did not want to eat due to sores on her tongue. Even with 19 years of knowledge, it’s great to refresh your skills, keep an open mind and learn new things to show others how to provide better oral care for our residents.” Sadie Fuson, Direct Care Professional |

Johnie is a veteran who contacted Sarah, his local I-SmileTM Silver Coordinator, because his teeth caused him a lot of pain due to a chronic mouth infection. Johnie had a hard time eating and his pain impacted his overall quality of life. He had not seen a dentist in nearly ten years because he did not have dental insurance. Sarah managed to coordinate his care with a local dental provider and assist him with enrolling in a dental insurance program for veterans. Johnie is now receiving the dental care that he greatly needed and reports that his headaches and infections are no longer occurring. |
