  22. Dental Public Health Web Resource Area MainMenu Common Dental Problems Click an image to see more

  23. MainMenu Common Dental Problems Eating sugar-containing foods more than 3-4 times per day WILL cause tooth decay Dental Decay Early decay forms UNDER the surface and may not be obvious until a cavity forms late on Fillings fill a hole, they do NOT prevent further decay Keeping sugary foods to mealtimes (Less than 4 times per day) Is the ONLY way to prevent decay Watch out for ‘hidden sugars’ in baked beans, ketchup, coffee whiteners etc.

  24. MainMenu Common Dental Problems Oral Cancer Oral Cancer can occur ANYWHERE in the mouth. Over 6,000 cases are diagnosed in the UK each year Oral cancer sufferers are more likely to die than those with cervical cancer or melanoma The further back in the mouth it occurs, the HARDER it may be to detect, the LATER it may be diagnosed SMOKING is a MAJOR risk factor for oral cancer ALCOHOL can increase the risk when combined with smoking White or red patches, lumps and ulcers can all occur commonly in the mouth BUT if in doubt GET IT CHECKED by a dentist For more information visit: http://www.mouthcancer.org/page/about-mouth-cancer Unexplained symptoms present for over 3 weeks SHOULD be checked by a dentist

  25. MainMenu Falls, sports injuries, fighting and accidents can all result in damage to the teeth Dental Trauma Common Dental Problems Injuries can involve the lips and other ‘soft’ tissues and/or the teeth Any injury involving suspected loss of consciousness should be seen by a medical professional Teeth that are displaced (moved) will require further investigation by a dentist • Adult teeth that are knocked out can sometimes be successfully re-inserted: Time is important, further treatment will be required: • Gently reinsert tooth into socket if practical • If dirty, gently rinse tooth with clean water, don’t touch the root • Alternatively transport tooth to dentist in milk, saline, saliva, or, as last resort, water Wearing a custom fitted MOUTHGUARD for all contact sports can significantly reduce the risk of dental injuries. Contact your dental centre to make an appointment if required Baby teeth should NEVER be re-inserted into the child’s mouth as this can damage the unerupted permanent tooth

  26. MainMenu Common Dental Problems Acid Tooth Erosion Juices and sports drinks, even sugar-free ones, contain acids Acid dissolves the tooth enamel, making it thinner and more prone to fracture over time The longer the acids are in contact with the teeth, the greater the rate of erosion Saliva and fluoride provide some limited repair to early / infrequent damage Top Tips: Avoid frequent / prolonged sipping of fruit juices, fizzy drinks and sports drinks Use a straw to minimise drink contact with the teeth Avoid ‘swilling’ the drink around the mouth and against the teeth Don’t brush teeth straight after the drink – this brushes away the softened enamel Instead use a fluoride rinse to strengthen enamel WATER provides adequate hydration during sports and does not damage the teeth!

  27. MainMenu Common Dental Problems Smoking and dental health • Smoking causes: • Increased mouth cancer risk • Increased gum disease and future tooth loss risk • Greater risk of and slower healing mouth infections • Faster loss of muscle tone around the mouth and premature ageing • Stained teeth and tongue • Bad breath • On top of ALL the general health risks (cancers, lung & heart disease…) • Thinking about Quitting? • - Book a smoking cessation appt at Med Centre • - Make a plan • - Tell others you are quitting • - Find out about Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) or other drugs • Avoid areas where you may be tempted to light up e.g. smoker’s shelters • - NHS Smoking Helpline 0800 169 0169 (Provide some free material Visit: http://www.nosmokingday.org.uk/ For further information

  28. MainMenu Common Dental Problems Oral Hygiene and gum disease The gums around the teeth are vulnerable to disease If your gums bleed after you brush then you are likely to be at risk – they need more attention from the brush not less! Gum disease over years can lead to permanently receding gums, ugly gaps, loose teeth and is the biggest cause of losing teeth Poor cleanliness and untreated gum disease can leave teeth prone to infections and abscesses • Brush twice daily for 2 mins – brushing all areas carefully • Spit but don’t rinse out the toothpaste • Use an interdental aid – floss / flossettes / tepes each day

  29. Dental Public Health Web Resource Area MainMenu Top Tips for Deployment • 1Arrange a pre-deployment dental inspection well in advance of your deployment date. • 2Limit the frequency of sugar-containing foods to 3-4 times per day MAX. • 3Avoid frequent intake of sports drinks & squash which cause both tooth decay and acid erosion. • - Drink water: it rehydrates, is healthy, safe for teeth and best of all it’s free! • 4 If you are told you are at risk for dental decay; • Discuss your diet with the dental officer – try to keep sugars solely to main meals • Request protective fluoride varnish from the dental officer (applied 6 monthly). • Take a high strength fluoride toothpaste on deployment • Consider using an alcohol-free fluoride mouth rinse between brushings • Spit out, but don’t rinse away toothpaste after brushing, to increase the dose • 5 Read the short booklet: The Service Guide to Oral Health:

  39. Dental Public Health Web Resource Area MainMenu Dental Nurse Extended Duties Update on DN Fluoride Varnish Training Whilst the DDS is keen to resume the DN fluoride varnish training course, the course format is currently being looked at by JMTRA. Once formally approved, it is hoped that selection for future courses can be offered at the Training Establishment. Any DN who have undergone the training, either through the DDS or externally, must ensure that copies of their certificates are forwarded to RHQ in order for a record to be maintained at DDS HQ. Only formally trained DN are authorised to apply fluoride varnish and give associated preventive advice, which must then be recorded on DMICP. • Reference Documents • Fluoride varnish product and aftercare information • Delivering Better Oral Health (Publication)

  49. Dental Public Health Web Resource Area MainMenu Fluoride Varnish - Patient Information • What is it? • A concentrated fluoride gel applied to teeth by the dental team at your appointment – painless and completed in minutes. • Why? • Studies show that when applied twice-yearly it can reduce dental decay by up to 50% (Effectiveness is increased with dietary changes). • How? • Fluoride absorbed by tooth enamel increases resistance against tooth decay. It helps protect against bacterial acids released after sugar is eaten. • Is that it? • No…don’t forget, the best way to prevent decay is to cut down how many times a day you eat sugar-containing foods

  50. Dental Public Health Web Resource Area MainMenu How to Order OHP Products • Background. • There are three major Oral Health Promotion (OHP) campaigns supported by the DDS - No Smoking Day, National Smile • Month and Mouth Cancer Action Month. • In addition, the DDS has a budget that can be used by dental centres to purchase products to • supplement these packs or at any other point throughout the year to promote oral health. • 3. There is a collection of pooled electronic resources that can be accessed on this website (Dii version only) • Criteria for funding. • As the budget is limited, it is important to concentrate these limited resources on our patients so there are certain criteria for • approval of funding: • a. Dental Centres that do not treat children are not entitled to funding for child OHP products. However, there are child OHP products held centrally at HQ DDS that are available for loan. • b. Everything needs to have an OHP message. A picture of a tooth and no message is not considered to be value for money. • c. The maximum levels of funding for a single OHI orders is £200 and giveaways are limited to £30. • OHP suppliers. • 5. There are 2 companies that can be used: • British Dental Health Foundation. Their website is www.dentalhealth.org and all dental centres are eligible for the members’ prices. • GASP. Their website is www.gasp.org.uk and as their name suggest this company concentrates on stop smoking merchandise. • Procedure for application of funding. • 6. Send an email to Polly Harrison SG-JMC-DDS-PS@mod.uk by using the template below. Please copy your Regional Oral Health • Coordinator into the email ROHC • An email from Polly Harrison approving the order will be sent to you and copied directly to the OHP company. This email • constitutes the order and therefore there is nothing that you will need to do until you have received your items. • 8. The invoice will be sent directly to Polly. Therefore, it is imperative that on receiving your items you email Polly to confirm that • you have received the order. HQ can then settle the bill. Click Here for template
