Research has shown that oral health is critical to general health and well-being. This is even more critical for patients in a hospital ward or in an Intensive Care Unit. In fact, there is a growing number of medical papers, which show that effective nurse administered oral hygiene can help to reduce the episodes of hospital-acquired pneumonia. There is also evidence that effective oral hygiene can help to combat heart disease, and improve the quality of life of patients.
If the benefits of such a basic form of treatment can be so dramatic, why is it that on a global scale, oral hygiene has often been delivered poorly or not at all?
We believe that currently, health professionals have inadequate tools to deliver such a vital treatment. We aim to provide a revolutionary tool that will replace the ineffective foam stick, and also to work closely with health professionals to establish new evidence based protocols that together with our product (The Agatha Oral Hygiene System) will completely transform how Oral Hygiene is delivered world-wide.
