GETTING TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER- ORAL HEALTH & HYPERTENSION GUIDANCE TO HELP SAVE LIVES

July 17, 2020

BACKGROUND

The purpose of this assessment was to:

Assess screening procedures for hypertension and diabetes by oral health professionals.

Assess the knowledge of oral health professionals to facilitate referrals for diagnosis and care for hypertension and diabetes.

Quantify the referrals for high blood pressure readings and elevated blood glucose levels by oral health professionals.

Determine if oral health professionals perform any follow up after making referrals for patients with high blood pressure readings and elevated blood glucose levels.

REPORT: WWW.MICHIGAN.GOV/ORALHEALTH

RECOMMENDATIONS/NEXT STEPS

State of Michigan guidelines for screening for hypertension (and diabetes) in dental settings

Referral guidelines and materials can be created for dental and medical providers to use when referring for medical or dental care

Chairside reference cards can be developed for oral health professionals advising on when to refer a patient for care

Education opportunities can be created to educate oral health professionals on proper screening methods for hypertension (and diabetes)

Pilot interventions could be developed between oral health practices and primary care sites to incorporate best practices and successful methods of referral to increase the number of Michigan residents that are screened and referred

Connections with oral health practices to community resources for people with hypertension (and diabetes) could be encouraged

Hypertension Screening: Dr. Lisa Knowles

Why Dental Professionals?Case Study: 42 year-old, presumed healthy male, with nothing marked on his health history form. Came into my practice with a cracked tooth. He had been to the endodontist, had RCT and now needed a core and a crown. Actual Health Hx: Highly Stressed, Nail Biter, No physical in past several years. No PCP. Married, father of two daughters. BP: 210/110. Recent headaches.

Research shows that dental visits may be the only routine care that a patient receives. Dental professionals are trusted resources and patients often welcome their advice when it comes to their overall health.
