2 Objectives Developing your understanding of the importance of oral health to systemic health Recognize oral lesions Developing your skills to perform the oral/head/neck examination

3 Major information source : Smiles for Life A National Oral Health Curriculum for Family Medicine STFM Group on Oral Health Module 1 The Relationship of Oral to Systemic Health
4
4 Why is oral health important?
5
5 Prevalence of Oral Disease Severe gum disease affects 19% of adults aged 25-44 30,000 oral cancers diagnosed annually; 8000 die Dental caries most common chronic disease of childhood 5 times more common than asthma 50% in low income children- up to 70% in Native Americans
6
6 Consequences of Untreated Oral Disease Pain, infection, tooth loss Impaired chewing & nutrition Systemic complications ER visits, hospitalizations, surgeries Extensive and costly dental treatments (OR $5,000+) Missed school and work 52 million school hours lost/yr
7
7 Prevention in both medical and dental homes Caries resistance Water fluoridation Fluoridated toothpaste Fluoride topical application Sealants Gum disease prevention Brushing Flossing Regular dental visits Oral cancer prevention Smoking cessation Alcohol

8 Colorado’s realities In April 2000, nearly one-third of Colorado counties lacked access to dental services for low income and at-risk (Medicaid, CHP+, Medicare) populations. 9 Colorado counties have NO LICENSED DENTIST at all. Only 11% of Colorado’s dentists participate in Medicaid’s Dental Program. 40% of Colorado counties (25) do not have a dentist that accepts Medicaid. Only 19 of the 182 counties in the three state area of Colorado, South Dakota and North Dakota have any pediatric dentists.
9
9 The Disconnect Most patients have a medical home; many fewer have dental home Children are 2.5 times more likely to lack dental coverage than medical coverage Dentists per capita declining Few pediatric dentists >90% of physicians think oral health should be addressed at well visits, yet… Surveys of physicians > 50% had little or no oral health training Only 9% could answer 4 simple questions correctly Averaged <2 hours of oral health training
10
10 Oral Health Dental Home Systemic Health Medical Home Oral and systemic health are linked so care should be too
11
11 Systemic conditions with oral manifestations Poor glucose control in diabetics oral candidiasis and periodontal disease Immunosuppression due to illness or chemotherapy periodontal disease Dry mouth from illness or medications periodontal disease Sjogren’s syndrome Rheumatologic disorders
12
12 Oral effects of medications Candidiasis from inhaled or oral steroids Xerostomia from diuretics, anticholinergics, antihistamines and many antihypertensives Gingival hyperplasia from phenytoin Ulcerative stomatitis from methotrexate Mucositis from chemotherapy or radiation treatment
13
13 Oral and systemic conditions that appear linked Adverse pregnancy outcome Preterm labor Preterm delivery Atherosclerosis (Coronary heart disease and stroke) Obesity Osteoporosis also affects alveolar bone Potential mechanisms: Bacteremia from infected gums (evidence: oral bacteria in atherscloerotic plaque) Inflammatory mediators leak into bloodstream

14 Oral Anatomy 1. Tongue 2. Palatine tonsil 3. Tonsillar pillar 4. Tonsillar pillar 5. Uvula 6. Palate (soft and hard) 7. Posterior wall of pharynx 8. Teeth

35 Caries: Etiology Triad Oral bacteria (Mutans Strep) break down dietary sugars into acids which eat away the tooth Teeth Sugars Caries Bacteria
36
36 White Spots White spots indicate acids have demineralized enamel First clinical signs of caries White spots place a child at high risk for developing cavities Indication for dental referral
