Healthy Mouth / Healthy Body
Ideal to include oral health exam in physical exam “The health of your mouth provides a window into the
health of your body. You are not healthy if your mouth is not healthy.”

Oral Health Screening
Three criteria to help define a dental “emergency”: 1) Pain
2) Infection/Swelling
3) Broken teeth

1) Pain
May not be visibly obvious
Common questions to inquire about dental pain: • Do you have any pain in your mouth at this time? • Do you have any pain in your mouth that wakes you up at
night? • Do you have any pain in your mouth that prevents you from
eating or makes eating difficult?

1) Pain
Additional questions: • If you have tooth pain to temperature changes, are your teeth sensitive to or cold? • When you have tooth pain to temperature changes, does the pain stop as soon as the stimulus is removed, or does it linger (i.e. trigger a toothache)? • If you currently do not have mouth or tooth pain, have you had any mouth or tooth pain at any time over the last year?

2) Infection/Swelling
Examine both outside and inside the mouth • External - swelling is primarily seen in the cheek areas, but could also be located around the eyes, under the chin • Internal - swelling is usually seen on the gums on the outer, or cheek side; or in the vestibule - may also be found on the inside of the gums, on the tongue side; floor of the mouth, under the tongue - There may, or may not, be pain associated with the swelling

3) Broken Teeth
If a patient has badly broken down teeth: • these teeth are likely to be causing pain, but not always. The patient may report that the teeth were painful in the past, but no longer. • you may, nor may not, see signs of swelling in the area Even if there are no signs of pain and/or swelling, broken teeth can be classified as an “emergency”.

Oral Health Screening
Tips for conducting an oral health screening: Areas to check: • Extraoral • Intraoral
Positioning of the client: • Knee to knee – for preschoolers • Facing the client – for children and adults

• Look for changes in the color of skin around mouth
• Signs of infection might be: facial swelling, swollen lymph nodes, redness

is not necessary • A flashlight is often helpful
