51 AAPHD s Vision Optimal Oral Health for All

52

53 AAPHD Policy on Access to Dental Care AAPHD recognizes a number of current best practices and promising new strategies that have the potential to improve access to oral health services for all communities: Community-based prevention programs, e.g., community water fluoridation School-based and school-linked programs, e.g., sealant and fluoride varnish programs Expanded use of non-dental personnel, e.g., medical care providers providing oral health assessments and fluoride varnish applications Reform of publicly-financed health care programs, e.g., establishing market-based reimbursement policies in Medicaid Expanded use of new and emerging types of dental personnel, e.g., Alaska Dental Health Aide Therapist Strengthening the dental public health infrastructure, e.g., statutory authority for a state dental director Involvement of multiple partners, e.g., oral health coalitions in many states. Assuring that any efforts to increase access to health care through reforms to insurance programs include dental benefits commensurate with medical benefits. AAPHD recognizes that health care providers have a moral obligation to heal the sick and infirm regardless of financial inequities. All individuals should have access to needed oral health prevention and treatment services as a basic moral right.

54 Resolution on the Need for Formal Demonstration Programs to Improve Access to Preventive and Therapeutic Oral Health Services Whereas, The American Association of Public Health Dentistry views access to preventive and therapeutic oral health services as vitally important for all Americans, Whereas, the AAPHD desires to foster broad-based policies and programs to help alleviate oral diseases, Whereas, many populations, such as the Alaska Native population living in remote and isolated villages, have overwhelming unmet oral health needs, Whereas, access to preventive and therapeutic oral health care for these populations is not readily available, Whereas, in compliance with federal law, the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium has initiated a pilot program based on a long-standing training model to begin to address Native Alaskans unmet needs with their Dental Health Aide Program, and Whereas, other model programs may now exist or be created that could provide effective and novel ways to improve access for high need populations, then Be it resolved, the American Association of Public Health Dentistry strongly supports innovative demonstration programs aimed at improving access to preventive and therapeutic oral health services for underserved populations and commits to working with the communities of interest to assure an independent and formal evaluation and dissemination of accurate information to the public and the profession about such model programs.

55 WK Kellogg and Macy Foundations Charge 1. Outline a proposed curriculum for 2-year postsecondary school education and training for dental therapists 2. Outline considerations concerning location and placement of such educational programs 3. Assess career path implications of the curriculum 4. Assess issues and opportunities regarding 4. accreditation of such programs

56 Competencies 1. Assessment and judgment 2. Preventive care, per protocol 3. Therapeutic care, per protocol 4. Pharmacological and emergency management, per protocol 5. Professional and community responsibility

57 The dental therapist curriculum is designed to be completed in 24 months (6 trimesters/8 quarters) and to serve as a template for a suggested core curriculum.

58 Questions 1. Is this provider a "safe" provider? 2. Would this provider improve access to dental care in the US? 3. Cost-effectiveness of this provider? 4. What are other solutions to the access problem?

59 The various indicators.five therapists who were The various indicators.five therapists who were included in this study are performing well and operating safely and appropriately within their defined scope of practice. The data indicate that the therapists who were observed are technically competent to perform these procedures within their scope of practice. The patients who were surveyed were generally very satisfied with the care they received from the therapists.
