Mission – To positively impact an individual’s oral health and improve their quality of life with oral care for oncology patients with the concept of prehabilitation as my focus.
Goal – educate consumers, medical and other healthcare providers in prevention, treatment and alternatives for patients.
- Rethink what products they recommend to patients and why.
- Offer targeted interventions based on the presentation of an individual’s mouth.
- Suggest many alternatives currently available to prevent oral issues and provide relief and comfort when they do arise.
- As a speaker, author and clinical hygienist with over 35 years dental experience, I feel my own journey through cancer as well as a caregiver to others suffering from the oral effects of oncology treatment has led to a deeper understanding of the needs of this particular group of patients.
