Severe Periodontal Disease: A Case Study
After diagnosing and treatment planning a client who has severe periodontal disease I drew up a mouth chart for my client to approach her condition in a more gentle aspect, I believe if you see what going on in your mouth on a diagram then the client will want to pursue needed care for better health. Written and verbal instructions were implemented. A Reach floss handle, oral irrigation with Listerine, and a powered toothbrush was demonstrated proficiency. The client was excited to start taking charge of her oral health, that she took her mouth chart to her place of work to show the younger generation what it means to take care of your oral health or else they could end up like her. My client also had an issue with sensitivity, I educated

    At MEND Poverty Clinic, I was surprised by how many patients do not realize that their bad habits can cause a permanent condition like periodontal disease. Lack of awareness of oral health has affected the health of my people in this community. After treating many unfortunate patients, such as a seventeen-year-old patient that needed extractions and only had few teeth left, an implant program was implemented which I am in charge with Dr. Robert Hale in order to improve the life of many…

    After doing an assessment on my client, I felt very sympathetic for her with her diagnosis. My client stated that she was trying all of the methods that the hygienist had recommended for her over the past years. The client has been fighting with a habit that she has numerous times tried to quit, but was unsuccessful. From her habit, her oral tissue and healing will continue to delay until she is ready to quit or seeks professional help. I let my client know that I understood her frustration and informed her that we are here to help or that she would want to seek medical help from her…

    The question is if these mid-level dental providers are necessary and a good idea for our patients? Will these mid-level providers solve the problem of “dental care crisis” in the poor and underserved population? Some have argued that mid-level dental providers could be a potential opening the door for the dentists to perform more complex procedures because the mid-level providers can normally only perform routine/simple dental cares. Thus this can be viewed as a way to expand a dentist’s practice and maximizing profit. However, some also may argued that dentists do not want their profession’s quality of care to be substandard and to be in jeopardy with the addition of mid-level providers who are less educated in dentistry. Thus, these mid-level providers have been described as both the solution to the disparities on oral health care as well as a threat to the survival of the dental…

    My learning plan focused on enhancing my skills on health education and improving my clients’ knowledge. In particular, I planned to increase the staff’s and the client’s (who has COPD) knowledge on COPD. I was determined to do this because of the observations I made while in the group home. To begin with, my preceptor informed me herself that she and the staff do not know much about COPD (e.g., pathophysiology, symptoms, and interventions). Also, I observed the client’s lack of knowledge about COPD management such that he rarely drank water nor washed his hands before meals. These behaviors can worsen his condition as inadequate water intake can make it more difficult for the client to breathe and improper hand hygiene can increase risk for infections.…

    My first patient was Jaeleen. As a dental assistant, I told her to check in. Afterwards, I called her into a room and settled her down in place. A few minutes after, I started to do some duties. I asked her questions and checked her teeth. The first thing I did was asked when was her last time she went to the dentist. Her last time was on October 12, 2012. Then I asked if she had fillings. Jaeleen didn’t have fillings, but she had a missing tooth. Her front tooth! Then I asked if she was suffering any pain. She said, “No. My teeth feels great!” Next, I asked how often and how long does she normally brush her teeth. She replied, “I brush my teeth everyday. I brush them after I wake up and before I go to sleep. I brush my teeth for a minute and a half.” The last questions I asked were if…
