Book Description
Background: Dental care for the persons with Intellectual Disabilities/Developmental Disabilities (ID/DD) is an underdeveloped specialty within the field of Dental Healthcare. There are no consistent and agreed upon training or licensing guidelines. Patients with ID/DD are 13% less likely to receive a routine dental appointment one time per year compared to young adults without a disability. Further, patients negative experiences with dental care can affect the overall success of dental appointments and likelihood that the patient will engage in continuing care. To address this gap in the literature, this study sought to, take the first steps toward establishing a set of core competencies for a patient centered dental care provision among patients with DDs utilizing a grounded theory approachMethods and procedures: In 2020, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 dental care professionals including 8 Dentists and 5 Dental Hygienists. There were 6 female participants and 7 male participants. NVivo software was used to conduct thematic data analyses. A grounded theory research approach was utilized to integrate the findings into some preliminary theories. Outcomes and Results: Three main themes emerged from the analyses: Perceptions of dental care providers regarding best practices for inclusive practice: Techniques and provider characteristics; Barriers to inclusive practice and Facilitators to inclusive practice. Many of the participants had personal relationships with at least one person with developmental disabilities which influenced their decision to specialize in that type of dentistry. Providers mentioned empathy and patience as key qualities among those conducting comprehensive dental care in the community setting. Some of the significant barriers to comprehensive community care were the lack of formal education in patient centered ID/DD dental care provision, lack of practice preparation of dental providers, and a lack of dental funding. Conclusions and implications: Most providers had no formal knowledge of PCC and the majority of the clinicians interviewed had no formal training on the dental care of persons with DDs. Dental programs should increase the availability of training that facilitates PC community care for this population (e.g. sedation methods). More structured educational programs are needed in order for both medical and dental providers to feel better prepared for comprehensive care of persons with DDs in the community setting. Further, future research should examine the perspectives of ID/DD patients and their caregivers with regard to dental care to better address their specific needs.

Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Providing oral health care to individuals with disabilities may require increased awareness, attention and accommodation by the dentist and dental staff, such as; frequent consultation with other health care providers, communicating with patients who have a sensory impairment, transfer of patient from wheelchair to dental chair, behavior management, obtaining appropriate informed consent, proper airway positioning and modifications to routine treatment procedures. The objectives of this book (Oral Health Care for People with Disability) are to provide dental professionals with an understanding of the issues associated with providing oral health care to people who have disabilities. Specifically, we intend to identify barriers to accessing dental care experienced by this segment of the population, oral health considerations associated with major disabling conditions and practical clinical information that will assist general dentists in providing appropriate oral health l care in a safe manner to individuals who have a disability. This book is dedicated to our families, our friends and our lecturers.

Improving Access to Oral Health Care for Vulnerable and Underserved Populations

Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Access to oral health care is essential to promoting and maintaining overall health and well-being, yet only half of the population visits a dentist each year. Poor and minority children are less likely to have access to oral health care than are their nonpoor and nonminority peers. Older adults, people who live in rural areas, and disabled individuals, uniformly confront access barriers, regardless of their financial resources. The consequences of these disparities in access to oral health care can lead to a number of conditions including malnutrition, childhood speech problems, infections, diabetes, heart disease, and premature births. Improving Access to Oral Health Care for Vulnerable and Underserved Populations examines the scope and consequences of inadequate access to oral health services in the United States and recommends ways to combat the economic, structural, geographic, and cultural factors that prevent access to regular, quality care. The report suggests changing funding and reimbursement for dental care; expanding the oral health work force by training doctors, nurses, and other nondental professionals to recognize risk for oral diseases; and revamping regulatory, educational, and administrative practices. It also recommends changes to incorporate oral health care into overall health care. These recommendations support the creation of a diverse workforce that is competent, compensated, and authorized to serve vulnerable and underserved populations across the life cycle. The recommendations provided in Improving Access to Oral Health Care for Vulnerable and Underserved Populations will help direct the efforts of federal, state, and local government agencies; policy makers; health professionals in all fields; private and public health organizations; licensing and accreditation bodies; educational institutions; health care researchers; and philanthropic and advocacy organizations.
