Module 1:The prevalence and
impact of oral disease
![Page 3: Preventing early childhood caries through medical and dental provider education and collaboration.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649cee5503460f949bcc72/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Early childhood caries can lead to…
• Extreme pain
• Spread of infection and possible cellulitis
• Crooked bite (malocclusion)
• Extensive and costly dental treatment
• Inability to concentrate
• Impaired language development
• High risk of developing tooth decay in permanent teeth – chronic condition

Disparities in Oregon children’s oral health
Children from lower income homeshave nearly twice the decay rates, untreated decay and rampant decaythan children from higher income homes.
Hispanic/Latino children have higher Rates of decay, untreated decay and Rampant decay.Black/African American children haveHigher rates of untreated decay.

Why providers of pediatric patients?
1
• They have frequent contact with infants and children.
• They can help prevent or reduce the risk of tooth decay.
• They can provide appropriate referrals to a dentist for early intervention and/or treatment.
![Page 7: Preventing early childhood caries through medical and dental provider education and collaboration.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649cee5503460f949bcc72/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement, 2003
• Every child should begin to receive oral health risk assessments by 6 months of age from a pediatrician or qualified pediatric health care professional.
• Infants identified as having significant risk of caries should be entered into an aggressive anticipatory guidance and intervention program provided by a dentist between 6 and 12 months of age.
• Pediatricians should support the establishment of a dental home for all children between 6 and 12 months of age.

Defining early childhood caries
• Process of demineralization to cavities in primary dentition
• Lesions can progress rapidly
• Affects teeth least protected by saliva
• Often associated with bottle or sippy cup use throughout the day or at night

First clinical signs of caries• White spots • Acids have demineralized enamel• First appear at gumline of upper
front teeth• High risk for developing cavities
White spots can be remineralized with early intervention
• Fluoride• Behavior modification: improved
brushing & dietary habits• Indication for dental referral

Caries process and transmission2
See Handout and www.orohc.org : Guidelines for Oral Health In Pregnancy
• Bacteria established by age 2
• Natural process occurs through normal activities
• Encourage regular dental care for pregnant women and mothers of infants
![Page 19: Preventing early childhood caries through medical and dental provider education and collaboration.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649cee5503460f949bcc72/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why do pregnant women need a healthy mouth?
• Reduces bacteria in mouth that can cause caries and gingivitis
• Less bacteria passed to baby in the first two years of baby’s life
• Research has shown that having gum disease while pregnant may cause pre-term births or low birth weight
• Mother learns importance of early dental intervention for her baby
2
![Page 20: Preventing early childhood caries through medical and dental provider education and collaboration.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649cee5503460f949bcc72/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Is dental treatment safe during pregnancy?
• All dental treatment safe during pregnancy, including xrays, cleanings, fillings and extractions
• Getting regular dental care during pregnancy can prevent gingivitis and improve the health of the gums, which often get red and puffy during pregnancy
• Getting a dental infection during pregnancy can be dangerous to the mother and baby
2
See www.orohc.org : Oral Health During Pregnancy Consensus Statement
![Page 21: Preventing early childhood caries through medical and dental provider education and collaboration.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649cee5503460f949bcc72/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Giving your baby a head start on a healthy mouth
• Mother is often the family member who establishes good eating and brushing habits for entire family
• Mothers should model good brushing and eating habits
• Start brushing baby’s teeth as soon as the first tooth erupts
• Only put breast milk, formula or plain water in bottles and sippy cups
2
![Page 22: Preventing early childhood caries through medical and dental provider education and collaboration.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649cee5503460f949bcc72/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why is risk assessment important?
• Risk status determines:
– Age of first dental visit – as early as when the first tooth erupts
– Use of fluoride
– Extent of nutritional and hygiene counseling

Be conscientious of cultural diversity
2
• Increased rate of dental caries in certain ethnic groups.
• Beliefs about health, disease, diet and hygiene in different cultures may impact practices and child-rearing habits.
![Page 25: Preventing early childhood caries through medical and dental provider education and collaboration.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649cee5503460f949bcc72/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Anticipatory guidance
Early childhood caries is:
TRANSMISSIBLE
PREVENTABLE
TREATABLE

Motivational interviewing (MI)3
See handout and www.orohc.org Explore-Offer-Explore
• Goal of MI is to establish rapport with the parent/caregivers and then discuss a “menu of options” for infant oral health and caries preventive behavior.
• MI focuses on techniques such as:– Open-ended questioning– Affirmations– Reinforcement of self-efficacy– Reflective listening– Summarizing

Diet and feeding: 0-12 months3
• Breastfeeding does not increase the risk for caries
• Hold infant for bottle and breastfeeding• No bottles at bedtime/nap (or use plain
water only)
• Introduce cup at 6 months, wean bottle at 12-18 months
• Avoid constant use of sippy cup, pacifier
• Introduce appropriate snacks
• Encourage rinsing the mouth out with water
![Page 33: Preventing early childhood caries through medical and dental provider education and collaboration.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649cee5503460f949bcc72/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Diet and feeding: toddlers
1 – 2 years
• Discontinue bottle feeding at 12-18 months
• Avoid excess juice• Avoid sweet, sticky snacks –
dried fruit, crackers, candy• Reserve soda, candy and sweets
for “special occasion” treats
2 and older
• Choose fresh fruits, vegetables, or whole grain snacks

Use of fluoride varnish for caries prevention has been endorsed by the ADA, but remains an “off-label” use of the product, because it is
not cleared for marketing by FDA for this purpose. http://www.mchoralhealth.org/PDFs/FlVarnishfactsheet.pdf
![Page 39: Preventing early childhood caries through medical and dental provider education and collaboration.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649cee5503460f949bcc72/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Treatable
• Success in treating caries is dependent upon parents/caregivers taking an active role in their child’s oral health.
• Intervention with fluoride varnish can reverse early stages of caries.
• Early access to a dental home with regular maintenance schedule is important.

Behavior management4
See www.orohc.org : Guideline on Behavior Guidance
Tips for managing child behavior – in office
• Utilize your staff who have good rapport with 0-3 year olds.
• Engage the parent during the exam.
• Recognize that the child will most likely cry the first few appointments.
• Utilize knee-to-knee technique or have child in parent’s lap or chest while reclined in the dental chair.
• Explain to the parent what you are looking for in the mouth.
• Positive reinforcement – for child and parent.

It can be done!
• ECC prevention services can be incorporated into the medical well-child visit, immunization schedule or when the child comes in for treatment of illness.
• Utilize staff creatively to provide ECC prevention services.
• DVDs, posters and brochures can increase awareness of oral health and decrease the amount of time ECC prevention services occupy during the visit.
