Community dental clinics in British Columbia, Canada
Community dental clinics (CDCs) have emerged to provide oral healthcare for those with low incomes. In British Columbia, the establishment of community clinics has been quite rapid in recent years. However, the expansion has occurred with very little assessment of their impact or effectiveness. While oral health inequities are well recognised, there is limited documentation on healthcare interventions to reduce oral health inequities. This study …
The Influence of Culture on the Oral Health-Related Beliefs and Behaviours of Elderly Chinese Immigrants
Email as a Data Collection Tool when Interviewing Older Adults
This article explores several aspects of electronic communication, specifically its advantages and disadvantages within the context of a brief experience using email to interview elders. Two older adults participated via email as the psychosocial impact of aging was collected using such venue. Our experiences are compared with published reports from others to analyze the benefits and limitations of email as a research tool. The email was spontane…
Using Written Vignettes in Focus Groups Among Older Adults to Discuss Oral Health as a Sensitive Topic
When the mouth yields pain and distress, it can impact psychosocially the lives of older adults and might constitute a sensitive topic for open disclosure. In this article, we describe our use of a written vignette in focus groups for discussion of oral health and disablement. Six focus groups were conducted with 42 older men and women with an average age of 75 years who were purposefully selected through advertisements posted in community center…

Oral health in long-term care
Oral Care for Successful Aging in Long‐term Care
The oral health of frail elders residing in long-term care facilities is very poor, probably because access to dental services is limited and help with daily mouth care is almost nonexistent. Recent concerns and interest have been raised through the cooperation of administrators, nursing staff, and dental personnel to address this apparent neglect. Moreover, evidence shows that caries and periodontal disorders can be managed successfully in geria…

The significance of the mouth in old age
Opinions of Dentists on the Treatment of Elderly Patients in Long‐term Care Facilities
The high prevalence of disorders in the mouths of elderly residents in long-term care (LTC) facilities suggests that the dental services available to the residents are inadequate. A questionnaire was sent to most of the dentists practicing in Vancouver (British Columbia) to solicit their opinions on treating older patients in LTC facilities, and a response was obtained from 334 (55%). It indicated that 19 percent of the respondents had treated ol…
Predicting Concerns for the Mouth among Institutionalized Elders
There is a widespread belief that old people do not have healthy mouths, although the reason for this neglect is not clear. A random sample of 41 long-term care facilities in Vancouver was selected--653 residents were examined and about three-quarters of them were interviewed--to find associations between variables that might influence a concern for oral health and to assess the effectiveness of multivariate models for predicting this concern. A …
