The world of medicine is trying desperately to take its many
pieces of the health puzzle and put them together to support health and cure
disease. In dentistry, we’re still perfecting those pieces so that when we do
all come together we have a much higher level of care focusing on medicine’s
successes and avoiding the pitfalls.
Dental hygiene is one of those early pieces. As we delve
into oral systemic health, and how it relates to the practice of dental
hygiene, we find that airway and geriatric care are new and exciting ways to
practice to the highest level - past the glass ceiling. Angie Stone and Shirley
Gutkowski are uniquely qualified to address these topics due to having
developed strategies that support patients and dental hygienists in these two
areas of practice.
Learning objectives
Show how dental hygiene provided oral hygiene in dependent
people is superior to any other
Prioritize dental hygiene care at every age to support
dependence in old age
Restate the cause and prevention of ADHD
Explain the relationship dental hygienists have with the
airway
