Will oral health care be included in a final plan, shouldit be included in such a plan, and will its inclusion depend on theway such a final plan looks? In this session we will take a look atthe big picture related to universal care from Earl Fox, a formerHRSA Administrator, familiar with the type of high-level negotiationsthat are necessary for such a plan to become a reality. We willalso hear how oral health care was highlighted under hisadministration and learn about his thoughts on the potential fororal health to be included in any future universal health care plan.We will then hear from the, Senior Vice-President of Governmentand Public Affairs and Washington Office Director for the ADA.He will discuss the association’s thinking on whether oral healthcare should be included in such a plan and the benefits or drawbacksof inclusion.

The purpose of thispanel discussion is to bring together representatives from threeorganizations within our profession to compare and contrastdifferent perspectives on these related issues.

Horowitz, PhD,Gary PodschunThe purpose of this session is to provide participants with anupdate about health literacy and its impact on oral healthoutcomes. The session will address local, regional and nationalinitiatives to improve health literacy. Oral health professionals

have had limited involvement in the health literacy arena. Improvements in oral health literacy will require the dental teamand other oral health professionals to go beyond individual healtheducational and promotional strategies to address the sharedfunction of individual patient skills, ability of a provider tocommunicate effectively and accurately, and the informationaldemands placed on patients by health care systems. Thisinteractive discussion will focus on generating practical suggestionsto improve oral health literacy by making recommendations forresearch, policy, and programs.

Incooperation with the Iowa Department of Human Services andother partners, the Iowa Department of Public Health created theI-Smile project, using a conceptual dental home model. Multipleproviders are involved, including physicians, nurses, and dentalhygienists to assure regular preventive oral health care is providedto children by the age of one. Dental hygienists, serving as I-SmileCoordinators, are located within 24 locations to facilitate referralsto dentists for restorative care and regular exams. CDE 1.5 CDE 1.5 CDE 1.5 CDE 1.5 CDE 1.5

Althoughlegislative action to support fluoridation of community watersystems is an efficient public health response to the epidemic ofdental caries, the legal debate over community water fluoridationcontinues despite overwhelming scientific evidence and widespreadmedical and dental support. Given the limited preparation of dentalpublic health professionals in areas of law and public policy, thereis need for an improved understanding of law, including thedynamics of adopting, implementing, and defending public healthregulations. This panel will blend expertise in law, public healthpolicy, and dental public health to highlight legal models applicableto fluoridation debates, increasing the legal competencies of oralhealth professionals to apply law as an effective tool for communitywater fluoridation.

Promoting Oral Health for Older AdultsPromoting Oral Health for Older AdultsPromoting Oral Health for Older AdultsPromoting Oral Health for Older AdultsPromoting Oral Health for Older AdultsJudith Jones, DDS,MPH, DScD; Susan Griffin, PhD; JohnRobitscherWith the baby boomers approaching retirement, it is all the moreessential to promote oral health in older adults. Access to care isan issue for many seniors. Preventing decay in older adults is oftengiven little consideration, even though recent estimates indicatethat the incidence of decay in older adults is equal to or greaterthan that seen for children. Collaborative efforts targeting thehealth of older adults need to include oral health. CDE 1.5CDE 1.5CDE 1.5CDE 1.5CDE 1.5

It is localized tourban centers, lacks adequate manpower, and is expensive. In the1980’s, WHO reported that LAC had the highest DMFTworldwide. The success of water fluoridation in the United Statesand other parts of the industrialized world was difficult to replicatein Central and South America and the Caribbean where manycommunities are poor, geographically isolated and did not haveaccess to a clean water supply. Two community trials done byPAHO and the NIH using fluoridated salt in Colombiademonstrated a 50% reduction in dental decay compared to nointervention. Since then, PAHO and the Kellogg Foundation haveworked hard to incorporate fluoridated salt into legislation andnational policy. CDE 1.5CDE 1.5CDE 1.5CDE 1.5CDE 1.5

Scientific and epidemiological data suggest alifelong synergy between nutrition and the integrity of the oralcavity in health and disease. Paralleling this cross-disciplinary trend,with an emphasis on evidence-based practice, is a change in thehealth care system toward a patient-centered, interdisciplinary, team-based approach that requires collaborative effort among healthcare providers. Inclusion of both didactic and clinical practiceconcepts that illustrate the role of nutrition in oral health is essentialin both dental and dietetic education programs.
