Welcome to Care+ Patients. I’m Catherine Teear, an award-winning dental hygienist with a passion for making oral health support simple, accessible and practical for everyone. Care+ Patients was created to provide clear, easy-to-follow guidance for people who may need a little extra help with their oral care, including older adults, care home residents, carers and families, as well as those managing their oral health at home. The platform includes practical brushing and denture-care support, aftercare advice, helpful videos and resources designed to make daily oral care easier and more consistent. For children, Bertie & Sparkle bring oral health education to life through fun stories, videos and interactive activities that encourage healthy habits from an early age. I’m incredibly proud to have been recognised as Dental Hygienist of the Year 2026, while our practice also won Oral Health of the Year 2026 and 5 other awards achievements that reflect my ongoing commitment to prevention, patient education and improving oral health for people of all ages.

From Dental Care Tips to Oral Hygiene Advice
Periodontal disease and diabetes are closely linked, as each condition can exacerbate other. Individuals with diabetes are more susceptible to infections, including gum disease, due to blood sugar levels that can impair the body's ability to fight off bacteria. Conversely periodontal disease can lead to increased insulin resistance, making it more challenging for diabetics to manage their blood sugar. Maintaining good oral and regular dental check-ups is essential for those with diabetes to help prevent the onset of periodontal issues.
