Factors that influence health Report overview Factors that influence health Social determinants of health drive at least 50% of morbidity and mortality rates.1 Social determinants of health include socioeconomic status (SES), usually measured by income, employment, education, or housing. Groups with lower SES typically have significantly shorter life expectancy, higher rates of infant mortality, higher rates of chronic disease, and significantly lower self-rated health status.2   Health inequities are costly. The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies estimates that the combined costs of health inequalities and premature death in the United States during 2003-2006 were $1.24 trillion.3 Further, addressing social determinants of health is an essential component of several key principles of the Public Health Code of Ethics which frame the ethical practice of public health.4 Healthiest Wisconsin 2020, the State Health Plan, lists two crosscutting focus areas: 1) Health Disparities, and 2) Social, Economic and Educational Factors that Influence Health.5 These broad focus areas have the potential to affect both the health focus area and public health infrastructure components of the plan and help set priorities in order to achieve large, equitable changes in health outcomes while saving health care dollars in Wisconsin.

Rationale Rationale Good oral health means being free of mouth pain, tooth decay, tooth loss, oral and throat cancer, gum (periodontal) disease, and other diseases that affect the mouth and surrounding structures. Oral health is integral to general health throughout the life span and can be achieved by everyone. Many systemic diseases may initially start with and be identified through oral symptoms. Source: Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Healthiest Wisconsin 2020, Oral Health Focus Area Profile Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Key points Key points Adults Only one-quarter of Medicaid/Badgercare+ enrollees had a dental service in the past year. The number of emergency department visits for non-traumatic dental complaints increased by 20% from 2006 to 2010. Four out of ten adults had at least one permanent tooth removed due to tooth decay or gum disease, while three out of ten did not visit a dentist within the past year. In 2010, nearly 90% of the population on public water systems had access to fluoridated water in Wisconsin, exceeding the national target of 80%. Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Key points Key points Adults Compared to Whites and Asians, Black, Hispanic, and American Indian adults were significantly more likely to have permanent teeth removed due to tooth decay or gum disease, and not to have visited a dentist, dental hygienist, or dental clinic in the past year. Permanent tooth removal and lack of dental visits are significantly more common among people earning lower incomes. More than half of adults with a disability had at least one permanent tooth removed due to tooth decay or gum disease, while more than one-third did not have a dental visit in the past year. Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Key points Key points Youth The percentage of third-grade children with untreated tooth decay decreased by 35% from the 2001-2002 school year to the 2007-2008 school year. School-based dental sealant programs have expanded rapidly since the 2009-2010 school year. Twenty-six percent of children in Head Start (aged 3-5) had untreated decay. Schools with a higher proportion of students from low income households were considerably more likely to have children with untreated tooth decay than schools with a higher SES population. One in three Asian, Black, or Hispanic third-grade children had untreated tooth decay, compared to one in six White children. Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Tooth removal and dental care among adults Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Tooth removal and dental care among adults Rates of tooth removal and dental visits in the past year among Wisconsin adults, by sex, 2010-2011 The Wisconsin Behavioral Risk Factor Survey (BRFS) is an annual telephone survey of state residents ages 18 and older carried out by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Estimates for the total adult population and by sex and age use a combined landline and cellphone sampling design from years 2009-2011. Estimates by race/ethnicity, income, education, geography, disability status, and sexual orientation are from the landline-only sample population from years 2008-2011. For more information, refer to the Technical Notes chapter. Routine dental visits are recommended at least once a year for preventive care.6 The BRFS asks respondents whether they have visited a dentist, dental hygienist, or dental clinic in the past year as well as how many permanent teeth have been removed due to tooth decay or gum disease. In Wisconsin, 41% of adults had at least one permanent tooth removed due to tooth decay or gum disease, while 31% did not visit a dentist within the past year. Rates by sex did not vary significantly. Source: Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Behavioral Risk Factor Survey (BRFS); 2009-2011 landline-cellphone combined dataset.

Tooth removal and dental care among adults Rates of tooth removal and dental visits in the past year among Wisconsin adults, by age, 2010-2011 Older adults are at increased risk for dental decay.7 Despite the increased risk for dental decay, nearly one-third of adults ages 65+ did not visit a dentist, dental hygienist, or dental clinic in the past year. Adults ages 25-44 had the highest percentage with no dental care in the past year, significantly higher than adults ages 45+.

Tooth removal and dental care among adults Age-adjusted rates of tooth removal and dental visits in the past year among Wisconsin adults, by household income level, 2008-2011 More than half of low-income adults had permanent teeth removed due to tooth decay or gum disease, a significantly higher proportion than for middle- or high-income adults. Similarly, low-income adults were about three times as likely not to have seen a dentist within the past year when compared with people in the high-income group. Adults with less than high school education were more likely than those with a college education to have at least one permanent tooth removal and no dental visits (data not shown).

Tooth removal and dental care among adults Age-adjusted rates of tooth removal and dental visits in the past year among Wisconsin adults, by level of urbanization, 2008-2011 The county of residence for each BRFS respondent was characterized by one of three levels of urbanization: large metropolitan, which in Wisconsin consists only of Milwaukee County; smaller metropolitan, which consists of 24 fringe metropolitan areas or counties with smaller cities; and 47 non-metropolitan counties, which are found in predominantly rural regions. Compared to residents of other metropolitan areas, a significantly higher percentage of residents of Milwaukee County and non-metropolitan counties had permanent teeth removed and did not visit a dentist within the past year.

Tooth removal and dental care among adults Rates of tooth removal and dental visits in the past year, by disability status, Wisconsin adults ages 18-64, 2008-2011 In the BRFS, living with a disability is defined by responding affirmatively to at least one of two questions: Are you limited in any way in any activities because of physical, mental, or emotional problems? Do you now have any health problem that requires you to use special equipment, such as a cane, a wheelchair, a special bed, or a special telephone? (Includes occasional use or use in certain circumstances.) About half of Wisconsin adults ages 18-64 with disabilities had permanent teeth removed, a significantly larger percentage than adults without disabilities. Adults with disabilities also had a higher rate of not having visited a dentist in the past year than adults without a disability.

Dental care utilization Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Dental care utilization Percentage of Medicaid/BadgerCare+ enrollees who received a dental service in the past year, Wisconsin, 2009 One in four Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare+ enrollees had at least one dental service in the past year, a rate that has been relatively consistent from 2004 to 2009. Dental services may include dental sealants through a school-based program and do not necessarily mean that the patient was in a dental office or received all services needed. Children and pregnant women enrolled in Wisconsin Medicaid/BadgerCare+ were enrolled in comprehensive dental coverage. However, enrollees may have had a difficult time finding a Medicaid-certified dentist taking new patients. Thus, coverage does not necessarily translate to access to available services.8 A review of 2008 National Health Interview Survey data revealed that adults with Medicaid were nearly five times as likely to have poor oral health as adults with private health insurance.9 Among people who reported having an oral health problem nationally, cost and lack of dental coverage were identified as the primary reasons they did not seek medical attention.9 Source: Wisconsin Department of Health Services, 2010 — Burden of Oral Disease in Wisconsin. Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Dental care utilization Emergency department visits for non-traumatic dental complaints, Wisconsin, 2006-2010 Many people who are unable to obtain dental services seek care in emergency departments. From 2006 to 2010, the number of emergency department visits for non-traumatic dental complaints increased by nearly 20%. In 2008, 39% of these emergency department visits listed Medicaid as the primary payer and 33% had self-pay listed as the primary payer (data not shown). Self-pay typically refers to the uninsured and the underinsured, or those with out-of-network insurance policies.8 Source: Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Office of Health Informatics, Wisconsin Emergency Department Data unpublished data. Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Dental care utilization Emergency department visits for non-traumatic dental complaints by age group, rate per 100,000, Wisconsin, 2010 More than 75% of emergency department visits for non-traumatic dental complaints occurred among adults 18 to 44 years of age.

Access to dental care Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Access to dental care Lack of routine preventive medical and dental care and unmet medical and dental needs among children, by poverty status, Wisconsin, 2011-2012 In 2011-2012, about half of Wisconsin children living in households below the federal poverty level (FPL) did not see a health care provider for preventive medical and dental care during the past 12 months. This percentage was significantly higher than among children living in households with incomes at least twice the FPL. Children living in households with incomes below the FPL were also significantly more likely to have unmet medical and dental needs than were children living in households with incomes over 200% of the FPL. Children living in households where the highest education level of adults was high school graduate were significantly more likely to lack preventive medical and dental care than were children living in households where the highest level of adult education was more than high school (data not shown).

Access to dental care Number of dentists per 100,000 people by county urbanization characteristics, Wisconsin, 2010 Non-metropolitan counties had a significantly lower rate of dentists per 100,000 people. Smaller metropolitan counties had significantly more dentists in relation to the population. In 2007, the national rate of dentists per 100,000 was 60.10 Source: Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services licensure lists; population estimates from Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Office of Health Informatics.

Access to dental care Number of full-time-equivalent (FTE) dentists needed to reduce significant shortages for Medicaid members, 2009 This map shows the number of full-time-equivalent (FTE) dentists needed to eliminate a significant dentist shortage for populations enrolled in Medicaid and eligible for dentist services for calendar year 2009. Removing a “significant shortage” means having a ratio of 3,000 Medicaid-enrolled members to 1.0 FTE dentist or lower, as defined by the federal Office of Shortage Designation; this is not an optimal ratio.11 In 2009, there were four Wisconsin counties in which there were zero dentist FTEs providing dental services to Medicaid patients: Calumet, Florence, Lincoln, and Pepin. Milwaukee County needed the highest number of FTE dentists to eliminate significant shortages for the Medicaid-enrolled population. Data were not available to describe the total state dental workforce in detail or to describe dental access for the total state or uninsured populations. State workforce data needed to meet federal criteria to designate dentist shortages for the entire population are not available.

Prevention of tooth decay Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Prevention of tooth decay Percentage of population on public water systems receiving fluoridated water, by state, 2010 U.S. rate: 73.9% Community water fluoridation is a safe and effective way to prevent tooth decay. Community water fluoridation and school-based dental sealant programs are recognized as the leading evidence-based practices to prevent tooth decay.12 In 2010, nearly 90% of Wisconsin’s population on public water systems were receiving fluoridated water. This percentage exceeded the national rate (73.9%) as well as the target (79.6%) established by the federal health plan, Healthy People 2020.12 Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010 Water Fluoridation Statistics Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Prevention of tooth decay Percentage of schools with school-based dental sealant programs, Wisconsin, 2009-2012 Since the 2000-2001 school year, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, in collaboration with the Children’s Health Alliance of Wisconsin, has administered the Seal-A-Smile school-based dental sealant program. Seal-A-Smile has experienced continual growth, with increased state General Purpose Revenue funding, federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding, and private foundation funding from Delta Dental of Wisconsin. Since the 2009-2010 school year, the number of Wisconsin schools with a school-based dental sealant program has increased from 17% to 40%. Note: These percentages represent the total number of schools that have a dental sealant program in Wisconsin out of the total number of public schools with any students enrolled in the target grades of 1 through 8. 2009-2010 2010-2011 2011-2012 Sources: Wisconsin Department of Health Services dental sealant program data; Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction public school enrollment data.

Dental health needs among children Percentage of children with untreated tooth decay, Wisconsin, selected years 2001-2009 Tooth decay among young children can result in difficulty speaking, chewing, and swallowing; needless pain; lost school days; and low self-esteem. While the percentage of third-grade children with tooth decay has significantly declined, tooth decay among Head Start children (aged 3-5) has remained unchanged. More than one in four Head Start children in Wisconsin has untreated tooth decay. In recent years, partnerships have expanded among primary care providers, local health departments, large clinics, and private practices to advocate for the accessibility of preventive oral health services and the implementation and maintenance of fluoride varnish programs. These factors contributed to the decline in untreated tooth decay among third-grade students in Wisconsin.13 Head Start children with untreated decay Third-grade children with untreated decay Sources: Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Make Your Smile Count Survey and Healthy Smiles for Healthy Head Start Survey. Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Dental health needs among children Percentage of third-grade students with untreated decay and dental sealants by race/ethnicity, Wisconsin, 2007-2008 school year During the 2007-2008 school year, one in three Black, Hispanic, and Asian third-graders had untreated tooth decay, more than twice the proportion in White children. Over half of White third-graders had dental sealants, while Black third-graders were significantly less likely to have this preventive measure for tooth decay. During the 2007-2008 school year, 51% of third-grade students had dental sealants (data not shown above). Source: Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Make Your Smile Count Survey. Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 Baseline and Health Disparities Report

Dental health needs among children Percentage of third-grade students with untreated decay and no dental sealants by school percentage of students eligible for the free/reduced price lunch (FRL) program, Wisconsin, 2007-2008 This graph displays oral health data based on each school’s percentage of students eligible for the free/reduced price lunch (FRL) program. Eligibility for FRL is used as a proxy for household income among children in school; schools with a higher percentage of students enrolled in the FRL program indicate a lower SES population. These data are grouped at the school level and not the student level. Children in schools with the highest proportion of students eligible for free/reduced price lunches are more than three times as likely to have untreated tooth decay and are also much more likely to lack the benefit of dental sealants, compared to children in schools with the lowest proportion of students eligible for free/reduced price lunches.

Dental health needs among children Percentage of children with oral health needs by disability status, Wisconsin, 2011-2012 The federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau defines children with special health care needs (CSHCN) as “those who have or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally.”14 The National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) is a telephone survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics at the CDC under the direction and sponsorship of the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau. A higher proportion of Wisconsin children with special health care needs had teeth in fair/poor condition and had one or more oral health problems within the past year than children with no special health care needs; however, the differences were not statistically significant. (The NSCH defines oral health problems as having had a toothache, decayed teeth, or unfilled cavities in the past 12 months.) Source: 2011-2012 National Survey of Children's Health.
