Our Goal

Page 8: You Can’t Have Good Health if You · integrating oral health into primary care practice Understand the systems that must be created to successfully integrate oral health into primary

Undiagnosed Diabetes

Prevalence diabetes U.S. adults 12-14 %

Prevalence pre-diabetes 37-38%

Half U.S. adult population either diabetic or pre-diabetic [JAMA, 2015; 314 (10)]

27.8% of people with diabetes are undiagnosed

Page 9: You Can’t Have Good Health if You · integrating oral health into primary care practice Understand the systems that must be created to successfully integrate oral health into primary

Periodontitis and…

Cardiovascular Disease

Many studies show known periodontal pathogens found in coronary & carotid artery walls (Ford 2006, Lalla 2003,

Dorn 2001)

Respiratory Disease

Oral bacteria found in lower airways

Page 10: You Can’t Have Good Health if You · integrating oral health into primary care practice Understand the systems that must be created to successfully integrate oral health into primary

Oral Manifestations of Treatment

Xerostomia (dry mouth from lack of saliva)

Common drug side effects (HTN, DM, asthma, psychotropic)

Page 11: You Can’t Have Good Health if You · integrating oral health into primary care practice Understand the systems that must be created to successfully integrate oral health into primary

Oral Manifestations of Treatment

Mucositis

• Chemotherapy

• Radiation therapy

Gingival Hyperplasia

• Dilantin

• Ca+ blockers

Page 12: You Can’t Have Good Health if You · integrating oral health into primary care practice Understand the systems that must be created to successfully integrate oral health into primary

Reduced Cost & Improved Outcomes

Recent study compared medical costs of diabetic patients who received periodontal treatment vs. no treatment over three years

Commercial medical and dental insurance

Periodontal treatment was associated with a significant decrease in hospital admissions, physician visits and overall cost of medical care in diabetics. Savings averaged $1,814 per patient in a single year independent of age and sex

• Document evaluation, interventions, self-management goals, and education

• Print educational handouts and post-visit instructions

• Refer the patient for care

• Collect data

EMR-EDR relationship
