Why Oral Health Oral Health for Seniors Project with Washington Dental Service Foundation
Slide 2-

Oral Care History On One Page Evidence of Oral treatment dating to 7000BC Middle Ages through late 1800’s oral care – extractions preformed by physicians and barbers First US Dental College 1840’s/Baltimore American Dental Association founded in 1859 and is the oldest and largest in the world. (AMA 1847) Emphasis on oral treatment and education with the creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps World War II brought increased attention to daily oral care and dental treatment Fluoride added to water treatment plants 1945 in Grand Rapids, MI. and introduced in toothpaste by Crest in 1955. In the future, stem cells may grow replacement teeth

Scope of Oral Health Problems for Seniors More seniors than ever are aging with their natural teeth. Seniors are at high risk for gum disease and oral cancers. In 2007, only 1 in 5 seniors had a dental visit. About 80% of Washington residents over age 65 have at least some of their teeth Per WDSF & CDC Evidence based studies link poor oral health to poor overall health - and health treatments to oral health outcomes.
Slide 4-

Seniors Lack Access to Dental Care Most retires no longer have dental insurance Medicare does not cover dental Medicaid cut dental care for adults except for clients receiving waivered services (2011 Budget covers extractions or emergent issues only) Eight percent of Washington’s older adults live at or below the federal poverty level -- choosing to pay for dental care out of pocket versus their medications is not realistic Many senior have a limited understanding of the importance of preventive dental care and the relationship between oral health and their overall health 4

CARE Numbers A Mirror of Medicaid On January 8, 2010 6,187 Broken, loose, decayed teeth 4,019 Dentures do not fit 780 Inflamed, swollen/bleeding gums 179 Oral abscesses 15,931 Some/all teeth lost 114 Ulcers/rashes The unduplicated count of clients who have at least one of these issues is 23,038 out of 44,390. 52% of clients are at risk for complications up to and including death from a treatable oral health issue.

Elder Economic Security Standard Index for Washington Elder Index benchmarks for basic costs of living for elder households in 20 US states. Illustrates how costs of living vary geographically and are based on the characteristics of elder households: household size, housing status (homeownership or renter), transportation and health status. The costs are for basic needs of elder households; they are based on market costs and assume no subsidies.
Slide 7-

Elder Economic Security Standard Index for Washington Older adults with good health face combined health care costs (insurance premiums plus co-pays, deductibles, fees and other out of pocket expense of $258 - $430/month Retired couples are unable to purchase family plans but must each buy coverage as an individual. Health care costs double for elder couples totaling $515 - $860/month. W4A Policy Recommendations include “Reform and redefine health and community based services and support to include wellness and prevention, chronic care management, mental health, adequate food and proper nutrition, and oral health and dental services.”

Why Oral Health? Oral Health Problems
Slide 9-

Without Oral Care & Treatment, Adults and Seniors are at Risk for … 9 Tooth Decay Gum Disease Chronic Illnesses Dry Mouth Poor Nutrition Denture Problems Oral Cancer
Slide 10-

Dry Mouth or Xerostomia Too little saliva to keep your mouth wet/clean. Affects 1-3 older adults Common symptoms associated with dry mouth include a constant sore throat, burning sensation, problems speaking, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness or dry nasal passages. Without the cleansing effects of saliva, tooth decay and other oral health problems become more common
Slide 11-

Dry Mouth Dry mouth is a potential side effect of many medications (prescribed and over-the-counter) to include: Antihistamines, decongestants, painkillers, hypertension medications, muscle relaxants, drugs for urinary incontinence, Parkinson’s disease medications, antidepressants and many others medications. Patients using oral inhalers for asthma often develop an oral fungal infection and are encouraged to rinse their mouths with water after using the inhaler. Over 400 medications

Oral Health and Overall Health What happens in the mouth is often a reflection of what happens in the body. Oral Health as been linked to diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and pneumonia. Research also links Periodontal disease, a chronic inflammatory disease to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's and other diseases Journal of Periodontology Aug 2008 Supplemental Issue 12
Slide 13-

Studies Show Association of Gum Disease to Heart Disease Cardiovascular disease, the leading killer of men and women in the United States, contributing to 2,400 deaths each day. A study done by Arbes and colleagues, published in 1999, found that the odds of having a heart attack increased with the severity of periodontal disease. A study by Beck and colleagues (1996) Followed a group of men age 21-80 years old who were free of Cardio Vascular Disease for a baseline. Researched followed up after 18 years. Found that loss of the alveolor bone (jaw bone, which is a measure of periodontal disease) at the baseline, was a predictor of heart disease incidents and stroke.
Slide 14-

Oral Health and Heart Disease Researchers have found that people with periodontal disease are almost twice as like to suffer from coronary artery disease as those without periodontal disease. American Journal of Preventative Medicine, Dec 2005 Possible cause: Oral bacteria via the blood attach to fatty plaque contributing to clot formation. Inflammation caused by periodontal disease increases plaque buildup, which may contribute to swelling of arteries.
Slide 15-

Oral Health and Stroke Patients with Periodontal disease are more likely to suffer from Arthrosclerosis Disease – a narrowing of the arteries that can lead to stroke Again, possible cause: Oral bacteria via the blood attach to fatty plaque contributing to clot formation. Inflammation caused by periodontal disease increases plaque build up, which may contribute to swelling of arteries. Per study part of NIH-INVEST (Oral Infections and Vascular Disease Epidemiology Study Aug 2004) at Columbia, the University of Minnesota and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders & Stroke funded Northern Manhattan Study
Slide 16-

Oral Health and Pneumonia Pneumonia accounts for 1.2 million hospitalizations annually with over $8 billion spent. (2006 CDC) When bacteria, viruses or, rarely, fungi living in your nose, mouth, sinuses, or the environment spread to your lungs, you can develop pneumonia or other infections. You can catch the bacteria or viruses from people who are infected with them, whether they are sick or not.
Slide 17-

Oral Health and Pneumonia A Japanese research group studied the provision of oral care after each meal for elderly, frail adults in 11 NHs in Japan to those not receiving the oral care after each meal and demonstrated that death from pneumonia decreased significantly with oral care. From the Dept of Geriatric & Respiratory Medicine, Tohoku University School of Medicine, Sendai, Japan and reported in Pulmonary Reviews.com Vol.7 No.9 September 2002 Good oral care reduces the number of potential pathogenic bacteria that might colonize the mouth that may reach the lungs.
Slide 18-

The Link Between Gum Disease and Diabetes Diabetes is a risk factor for periodontal disease, periodontal disease is a risk factor for Diabetes Studies indicate people with diabetes are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop periodontal disease than people without diabetes. (National Diabetes Education Program ) The ADA advises people with diabetes to visit the dentist at least twice a year. This is because people with diabetes are generally more susceptible to bacterial infection and have a decreased ability to fight periodontal disease. (American Diabetes Assoc.) Diabetes
Slide 19-

Oral Health Problems and Diabetes Problems associated with diabetes are: tooth decay periodontal (gum) disease salivary gland dysfunction fungal (yeast) infections inflammatory skin disease infection and delayed healing taste impairment elevated blood glucose An 11-year study of Pima Indians with Type 2 Diabetes noted that Periodontal disease was a positive predictor of mortality from Ischemic heart disease by 3.2 times Diabetic nephropathy.

Oral Cancer The most common symptom of oral cancer is a sore in the mouth that does not heal. Other symptoms include: A lump in the mouth or throat or on the lip A white or red patch on the gums, tongue, or the lining of the mouth Bleeding, pain, or numbness in the mouth A sore throat that does not go away Difficulty or pain when chewing or swallowing Swelling of the jaw A change (hoarseness) in the voice Pain in the ear.

Oral Cancer Deaths Each year, more than 30,000 new cases of cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx are diagnosed and over 8,000 deaths due to oral cancer occur. The 5-year survival rate for these cancers is only about 50 percent. Death rate is nearly twice as high in some minorities (especially black males) as it is in whites. 60% of oropharyngeal cancers are linked to HPV Preventing high risk behaviors --- cigarette, cigar or pipe smoking, use of smokeless tobacco, and excessive use of alcohol are critical in preventing oral cancers. Early detection is key to increasing the survival rate for these cancers. Per the CDC
