Women’s Aging Complexities ~ The 2014 Oral Health Connection
SPONSORED BY CREST ORAL-B
As the numbers of aging women increase worldwide, dental
professionals face significant challenges and opportunities.
Recognizing gender specific health concerns impacting the
overall well-being of patients has become increasingly important.
A number of health conditions are more prevalent, may cause
different symptoms and affect women differently than men.
Oftentimes, women are at greater risk for specific medical
conditions and are simply unaware. Knowledge of a condition’s
symptoms, risk factors and preventive approaches can assist
the dental professional in being more informed. From preventive
care to treatment strategies, options, medications and resources,
we as dental professionals become challenged to stay informed
as medical needs continually change during the aging years.
Women’s medical concerns such as cardiovascular disease,
diabetes and osteoporosis will be addressed along with
their surprisingly strong influence on the oral cavity. With oral
health being an integral part of general health, oral problems
indigenous to women will be discussed. The impact from
medications and the oral manifestations they create greatly
determine how dental products should be utilized and tailored
to meet specific needs. This presentation will detail the
current research linking systemic disease with gingival and
periodontal inflammation. Treatment protocols and home care
recommendations designed to assist in achieving optimal oral
health will be outlined. As research unfolds additional oral
discoveries and causal relationships in systemic diseases,
discussion will surround the latest evidence-based technology
impacting oral health and whole body wellness.
This program will additionally provide dental professionals a
detailed overview of osteoporosis and its treatments. With the
issue of osteonecrosis of the jaw being prominent in the media,
understanding the risk benefit ratio of treating osteoporosis with
oral bisphosphonates is important for all dental professionals.
In osteoporotic patients, long term treatment is essential for
bone health and prevention of fracture. Routine dental care is
important and should be part of the osteoporosis treatment
regimen. Education will help dental professionals balance dental
health needs with bone health concerns.
Pam is a recognized speaker throughout the United States on advances in therapeutic oral care products,
women’s aging complexities, oral risk assessment and improving patient care with evidence-based decision
making. She is a past President of the California Dental Hygiene Educators’ Association and the California
Dental Hygienists’ Association.
Pam remains clinically active in a general practice with 34 years of experience and holds a faculty position at
the Ostrow School of Dentistry of University of Southern California in the Division of Periodontology, Diagnostic
Sciences, Dental Hygiene and in the Master of Science Dental Hygiene Graduate Program. She has authored
several articles on topics related to women’s aging and their compromised health concerns along with effective
home care strategies in treating gingival disease.
