Oral Health Across the Lifespan

• Oral health should be maintained across the lifespan.

• Each stage of life has unique risk factors which impact oral health needs and status – Early Childhood

– Children and Adolescents

– Adult

– Pregnant Women

– Older Adults

4

Impact of Oral Disease

• Societal – Diminished quality of life

– Sleep deprivation, depression, and multiple adverse psychosocial outcomes

– Individual identity

• Economic – Dental care paid out-of-

pocket by patients

– Emergency room spending

5

National Objectives

• Oral Health in America Report (2000)

• Led to oral health objectives in:

– Healthy People 2010

– Healthy People 2020

Florida Early Head Start/Head Start Oral Health Status Indicators

10

Children: 5-18 Years

varnish, silver diamine fluoride – Reduce risk factors that impact oral health such as

sugar sweetened beverages and poor nutrition – Establish good oral health habits and a dental home – Lay the foundation for healthy teeth as an adult

oral disease

• There may be a pathological link between oral disease (particularly periodontal disease) and poor health outcomes such as preterm birth and stroke *Jeffcoat, M. K., Jeffcoat, R. L., Gladowski, P. A., Bramson, J. B., & Blum, J. J. (2014). Impact of periodontal therapy on

general health: Evidence from insurance data for five systemic conditions. American journal of preventive medicine, 47(2), 166-174. 32

Tobacco Use and Control

• Tobacco use linked to several chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

• Primary cause of many adverse oral conditions such as oral cancer, periodontal disease, and congenital defects in children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy.

• Comprehensive tobacco control can have a large impact on oral health status, and the dental office provides an excellent venue for providing tobacco education and intervention services

49

Conclusions

• The PHDP continues to promote cost efficient workforce models, increase access to care though School-Based Sealant Programs and innovative collaborations, increase communities receiving water fluoridation, and conduct oral health surveillance activities for various populations statewide. Through these oral health promotion initiatives and activities, the PHDP will continue to improve, promote, and protect the oral health status of all Floridians.
