Integration of dental therapists in safety net practice increases access to oral health care in Minnesota
Integrating DTs at CDS improved access by expanding mobile clinics, increasing patient volume, and redistributing procedures, while demonstrating a positive return on investment. Results suggest that adopting the DT model may be a promising practice for other organizations seeking to improve access to dental care, increase operational efficiency, and boost the dental care team's ROI
Measuring quality
These National Quality Forum endorsed measures provide valid methodologies for assessing the rate of caries-related ED visits, an important system-level outcome indicator of outpatient prevention and disease management, and the timeliness of follow-up with a dentist. There is significant variation in caries-related ED visits among state Medicaid programs, and most ED visits do not have follow-up with a dentist within 30 days
Addressing Oral Health Disparities Via Educational Foci on Cultural Competence
An ever-present challenge for the oral health profession is to reduce the extent of oral disease among racial and ethnic minority populations. Adding to this complex dilemma is the linkage between oral health and systemic health. We describe enhanced cultural competency, in the context of individual cultural beliefs, values, language, practice, and health behaviors, among dental professionals, as one approach to meeting the dental care needs of t…
Trends in dental‐related use of hospital emergency departments in Florida
Dental-related visits to hospital EDs in Florida have increased substantially during the past decade, as have their associated charges. Most patients did not receive definitive oral health care in EDs, and this trend represents an increasingly inefficient use of health care system resources
Developing and testing pediatric oral healthcare quality measures
Broad stakeholder engagement, rigorous measure development and testing processes, and regular opportunities for public input contributed to the development and validation of the first set of fully specified and tested pediatric oral healthcare quality measures, which have high feasibility for implementation in both public and private sectors. This achievement marks an important essential step toward improving oral healthcare and oral health outco…
The Decision to Counsel Adolescents about HPV
Parent /public approval were primary barriers to HPV-counseling
Demographic and practice characteristics of M edicaid‐participating dentists
If we are to address the shortage of Medicaid dental providers, increasing our understanding of how to capture the excess capacity among general dentists (the reported lack of busyness) in a way acceptable to dentists and to the State of Florida is an important first step. In addition, dental schools should consider implementing a track dedicated to training students for practice success within communities of highest dental need and to seek to in…
Oral anesthesia reveals individual differences in food-related sensory interactions
Anesthesia of the facial nerve (VII) alters taste responses from the glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) and produces taste phantoms
Impact of Fluoridated Water on the Caries‐experience of Naval Recruits
The investigators at the Naval Dental Research Institute, who reported this study, have performed a unique service for those dentists interested in learning the impact of fluoridation on dental practice
