Oral care is discussed as an important part of total patient care. The aetiology of periodontitis, and the formation and control of plaque, are outlined. Principles of mouth care are illustrated through the use of a case study. Results of a small pilot study suggest there is a need for evidence-based teaching on oral care. Conclusions identify that oral care is an important component of promoting comfort.
