This document summarizes Theodore T. Suh's presentation on oral health for older adults. It discusses common oral health issues in seniors like cavities and periodontal disease. It outlines barriers to dental care for seniors like lack of insurance, affordability, and accessibility issues. Medicare does not cover routine dental care while Medicaid coverage varies by state. Poor oral health can impact overall health by increasing risks of conditions like pneumonia and diabetes complications. The presentation provides tips for caregivers on oral hygiene and discusses initiatives to improve oral health education and access for seniors.

The health of the mouth and surrounding
craniofacial (skull and face) structures is central to a person’s overall
health and well-being. Oral
and craniofacial diseases and conditions include:
-- Dental caries (tooth decay)
-- Periodontal (gum) diseases
-- Cleft lip and palate
-- Oral and facial pain
-- Oral and pharyngeal (mouth and throat)
cancers
The significant improvement in the oral health of Americans over the past 50 years is a public health success story. Most of the gains are a result of effective prevention and treatment efforts. One major success is community water fluoridation, which now benefits about 7 out of 10 Americans who get water through public water systems.
However, some Americans do not have access to preventive programs. People who have the least access to preventive services and dental treatment have greater rates of oral diseases. A person’s ability to access oral health care is associated with factors such as education level, income, race, and ethnicity.
Objectives in this topic area address a number of areas for public health improvement, including the need to:
-- Increase awareness of the importance of oral health to overall health and well-being.
-- Increase acceptance and adoption of effective preventive interventions.
-- Reduce disparities in access to effective preventive and dental treatment services.

I read an article about the quality of life of children living with cleft palate and decided to do a presentation for Dental Hygiene Theory I summarizing the article. I thought it was important for our class to know not only what cleft palate is, but also how cleft palate surgery can change a patient's life. With the knowledge provided in this presentation, hygienists can have more empathy for what cleft palate patients go through in their daily lives.

Oral health has more to do with your overall health than just an impressive smile. In fact, it affects how you speak, eat, and emote. Statistics suggest oral health problems, most notably tooth decay, are one of the most frequent chronic illnesses in America. Other oral health problems include gum disease and oral cancer.

Simplyhealth dental survey - the hidden impact of poor oral healthSimplyhealthUK
Introduction
Encouragingly, the results of our recent dental survey indicate that a large proportion of British adults are aware of how the health of their mouth can impact on other elements of their health. However, it seems what isn’t so positive is that 20% of British adults do not perform simple tasks such as brushing their teeth twice a day, to help keep their mouth healthy
Diabetes in dependent adults is pervasive. Many are suffering needlessly because their oral health is contributing to glucose management.
Dental hygienists in most states are unable to care for these people without a prescription from a dentist. It's an unnecessary hurdle.
You've wanted to understand how good oral health contributes to good health. This presentation is filled with scientific proofs and ways to use the science.
Talk to your dental hygienist or contact the author of this presentation for more information on how to make your health better by improving oral health.
An eBook that explains with quotes from dental experts, data and graphics why it is so important for societies to protect children's teeth. It tells inspiring stories of dental heroes, from countries from Chile to China to the U.S., who work tirelessly to help their communities fight child tooth decay, particularly in underserved populations.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

To review common oral health issues among older
adults.
To identify barriers to oral health care among older
adults.
To discuss how oral health impacts general health in the
geriatric population.
Discuss tips for senior caregivers regarding oral health.
Review oral health care in the PACE model.

4. Dental Care in U.S. Older AdultsDental Care in U.S. Older Adults
Only about 2% of older Americans have dental
insurance.
Vast majority of older Americans go without dental care.
The older the person, the more likely they need
dental care for a variety of reasons.
Over 30% of older adults have untreated cavities.
Almost 25% of adults between ages 65 and 74 have
periodontal disease.
Nearly 30% of older adults lose their teeth.

6. Oral Health Barriers for SeniorsOral Health Barriers for Seniors
Most lose dental coverage with retirement.
Medicare doesn’t cover most dental work.
Santa Fe Group: wrote a White Paper making the
case for dental benefit under Medicare Part B.
Medicaid coverage varies by state and is
limited.
Most cannot afford out-of-pocket dental expenses.
Inadequate nutrition/ hydration contribute to dry
mouth and tooth loss.

7. Oral Health Barriers for SeniorsOral Health Barriers for Seniors
Dry mouth as side effect of many medications that
seniors often take can lead to cavities & gum
disease.
Osteoporosis & its undertreatment are contributing
to tooth loss in older adults.
Darcey J et al., Br Dent J, 2013
Bougioukli S et al., J Bone Miner Metab, 2019.
Lack of transportation for regular dental visits is a
barrier to dental care.
Lack of access/ poor dental care for those living in
many nursing homes. 7
9. Dental Care: Medicare & MedicaidDental Care: Medicare & Medicaid
Routine dental care that seniors need most
(checkups, cleanings and fillings) are not covered
by Medicare.
The only dental care covered by Medicare:
Dental services that are an integral part of a covered
procedure (e.g. jaw reconstruction following accidental
injury)
Extractions done in preparation for radiation therapy for
cancer involving the jaw including head & neck cancer
Oral exams prior to kidney transplant or heart valve
replacement
9
10. Dental Care: Medicare & MedicaidDental Care: Medicare & Medicaid
Medicare NEVER pays for dentures.
Medicaid: a joint federal and state program that
provides medical coverage for low-income
Americans:
Only provides comprehensive dental care in some states
and in certain cases.
Most states do offer emergency dental care.

11. Oral Health Impacts on General HealthOral Health Impacts on General Health
Poor oral health can lead to serious health issues
including:
Aspiration pneumonia
Coronary artery disease
Cerebrovascular disease
Protein malnutrition
Periodontitis can worsen diabetic control.
Poorly-controlled diabetics are at risk for oral
candidiasis
Lamster IB et al., JADA, 2008.

20. Oral Health Tips for Senior CaregiversOral Health Tips for Senior Caregivers
Prevention is the key!
Daily brushing and flossing
Who does this for those with dementia or physical
disabilities?
Avoid gaps in dental care among older adults!
Too many people are requiring tooth extractions and
dentures after years of benign oral neglect.
Increase public awareness of dental services
available for low-income seniors.

31. Dental Care in the PACE ModelDental Care in the PACE Model
Dental care has been part of the PACE Model from
its inception.
Noted in the PACE Protocol from April 1995, prior to the
CMS demonstration period.
Unfortunately, no benchmarking values are available
that are specific for Dentistry within PACE.
Anecdotally, Dentistry is the most prevalent of the
specialist encounters across all PACE programs.

32. Dental Care in the PACE ModelDental Care in the PACE Model
Most PACE programs have policies regarding
approval of dentures.
Remember, PACE is managed care!
Dentures require approval by the interdisciplinary
team, based on an evaluation tool that focuses on
need, participant wishes, nutritional status and ability
to maintain dentures.
Huron Valley PACE does not replace dentures lost or
damaged due to neglect in less than a 3 year
timeframe.
New PACE participants must wait 30 days before a
request for dentures is approved. 32
33. Dental Care in the PACE ModelDental Care in the PACE Model
“The dental status of many of our participants who have teeth (many do
not) is poor. It is common to have retain roots, teeth broken off at the
gum line, or dental caries. Tooth extraction is not uncommon. I
cannot account for a single individual who developed an abscess,
pneumonia, hospitalization, or level 2 event who did receive regular
dental care. On the other hand, I can cite one specific case of a
participant who has consistently refused dental care, and did develop a
significant abscess requiring hospitalization.”

34. Dental Care in the PACE ModelDental Care in the PACE Model
“It is clear that there are multiple outcomes from psychosocial to
clinical that arise from appropriate dental care. This appropriate care
involves individual assessment - elderly without teeth may not always
prefer the use of dentures. We have multiple cases of dental abscesses
arising from severe caries - creating pain and failure to thrive - followed
by C. difficile from the antibiotics that we gave! ”
