Who am I

Agenda• Why addressing perinatal oral health (POH) matters

• The role for medical-dental integration in POH

• What each of us can do to better address POH and improve overall wellness of mom and baby

• National and local POH resources for providers and patients

Why are we really here?

• We can do better• Let’s take a minute to pause in the middle

of COVID 19 and an upsurge of reflection on racial injustice

• What have you seen?• What have you experienced yourself?

Kansas PRAMS 2018

Dental care in KS

“For young children of black and Hispanic mothers, dental care use is higher when their mothers have a regular source of dental care”

This is why it matters

Why Does Perinatal Oral Health Have to be Integrated?

Why should dental address medical issues?

Addressing Oral Health Saves $ and Makes One Healthier!

Insurance barriers

OB Care Reminder: Trimesters

•Traditional 3 trimesters

•1st trimester: through 13wks

•2nd trimester: 14 through 27wks

•3rd trimester: 28wks through 40+wks

• 4th trimester: through 12wks postpartum

Let’s Review What we Know

Postpartum Xylitol • Günay et al., 1998: 100% of children in the

intervention group remained S. mutans free by the age of 3 vs 38.5%

• mothers in the intervention group also w/ significant improvement in plaque index

• Nakai et al., 2010: significantly more children in xylitol group S. mutans free at 9, 12, & 24 mos.

• children’s S. mutans acquisition age in the xylitol chewing group was 8.8 months later than that of the control group (mean age 20.8 vs. 12.0 mos).

» Caries Res 2019;53:411-421.

•15 RCTs (7161 participants)

•“It is not clear if periodontal treatment during pregnancy has an impact on preterm birth (low-quality evidence). There is low-quality evidence that periodontal treatment may reduce low birth weight (< 2500 g), however, our confidence in the effect estimate is limited. There is insufficient evidence to determine which periodontal treatment is better in preventing adverse obstetric outcomes. Future research should aim to report periodontal outcomes alongside obstetric outcomes.”

•NO CONCERNS RAISED ABOUT SAFETY OF DENTAL CARE IN PREGNANCY

Updates in Prenatal Dental CareSafety• Dental xrays safe throughout

pregnancy• Dental pain medications are

generally safe • Most dental antibiotics safe during

pregnancy• Cleanings, extractions, restorations

(filings), deep root scaling = safe

IVC (supine hypotension syndrome)
