“…Although reports on oral health education in dental clinics are very scarce, the findings disclosed in our survey somehow agree with the reported low frequencies of adult patient recall of oral health education services received in private practice settings (McConaughy, Toevs, & Lukken, ). Although health education during dental visits is usually limited by time and frequently addressed to a particular problem (Raidi et al, ), systematic and organised efforts in combination with adequate information have proved useful in improving compliance with supportive periodontal therapy in dental clinics (Demirel & Efeodlu, ; Wilson et al, ).…”

“…Bearing in mind the reported low level of knowledge of periodontal health elicited by laypersons (Varela‐Centelles et al, ), together with the gaps observed for physicians and nurses (Varela‐Centelles et al, ), and combined with the high prevalence of periodontal disorders (Albandar & Rams, ), dental clinics should be expected to be the cornerstone of patient periodontal education. A pilot study on general dental practitioners found they perceived useful the participation of the entire dental team in educating patients on periodontal risk factors (Raidi, Thornley, & Thornley, ). In fact, much of the burden of patient education lies with dental hygienists because of their positive influence on patients’ knowledge, motivation and self‐care (Ultembroek, Schaub, Tromp, & Kant, ), and also because dentists find important barriers for educating their patients, such as lack of time, remuneration or patient compliance (Thevissen, Bruyn, & Koole, ).…”

Regular dental attendance and periodontal health knowledge: A cross‐sectional survey

Objectives To explore dental clinics’ performance on periodontal education by comparing knowledge about periodontal health of regular and inconsistent dental attenders. Subjects and Methods A population‐based study with a cross‐sectional design was performed in Galicia (Northwestern Spain). Participants were randomly selected from 16 different areas and a questionnaire applied face‐to‐face. The survey included items on socio‐demographic features, habits and routines, periodontal status and periodontal health knowledge. Participants were grouped according to the median of overall knowledge, and a logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the relationship between good periodontal knowledge and frequency of dental visits. Results A total of 8,206 individuals were invited to enter the study, and 3,553 of them accepted the invitation (43.3%). Most participants (59.3%; n = 1,945) fit within the regular dental attenders’ group. Younger women holding a university degree and visiting their dentist regularly elicited higher knowledge about periodontal health. Regular use of dental services increased the chances of being in the higher knowledge group (OR: 1.67; 95% CI: 1.40–2.00). Conclusions Reported regular dental attendance is related to periodontal health knowledge. Specific interventions for promoting tailored patient education on periodontal topics during routine dental visits may have a positive effect on laypersons’ knowledge about periodontal health.

“…Of note, the study by Sarmadi et al [94] also found that diet counselling was provided to ~10-20% of children and adolescents whereas diet information was provided to ~40-50% of children and adolescents attending public dental services in Sweden. In addition, Raindi et al [96] found in a small pilot study that diet advice was not provided for periodontal prevention. As well, an observation study [98,99] conducted in general dental practices in the United States found that overall <~10% of visits had nutrition counselling with the median number of 30 s intervals devoted to nutrition counselling being 0 (range: 0-6 for dentists; 0-23 for dental hygienists).…”

Nutrition Care Practices of Dietitians and Oral Health Professionals for Oral Health Conditions: A Scoping Review

et al. 2021

Background: Oral health conditions, such as dental caries, pose a substantial burden worldwide. Although there are many risk factors for poor oral health, diet is often implicated as a cause of these issues. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify and map studies that have captured information on the “real-world” nutrition care practices of oral health professionals (OHPs) and dietitians to optimize oral health, and specifically the dentition and periodontium. Methods: A search of peer-reviewed articles was conducted using MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Embase. Articles that addressed the review objective and met the following criteria were included: English language, published since 2000, and study conducted in a high-income country. Results: Overall, 70 articles were included. Most articles reported on cross-sectional survey studies and provided self-reported data on OHP practices; few articles reported on dietitians. Most articles reported only general/unspecific information on assessment and intervention practices, such as dietary analysis, nutrition counselling, and diet advice, and lacked specific information about the care provided, such as the dietary assessment tools used, type of information provided, and time spent on these activities. Barriers to the provision of nutrition care by OHPs were common and included time and lack of remuneration. Few studies reported on collaboration between dietitians and OHPs. Conclusions: Several studies have captured self-reported information on nutrition care practices of OHPs related to oral health; however, there is limited information available on the details of the care provided. Few studies have examined the practices of dietitians.

Explaining diet as a risk factor for periodontal disease in primary dental care

Abstract: Using the entire dental team can be an effective way of educating our patients on risk factors for periodontal disease. It is important to note that this audit focused on clinicians delivering the advice and future direction should consider patient compliance and uptake of information.
