#137: “Helpisode”: Providers Unite! Medical and Dental Integration with Bambi Dixon


Listen Later

Today on the podcast I have an open conversation with Bambi Dixon on her recent research into interprofessional care and dental/medical integration. Communication is the key to successful medical/dental integration. Bambi has had conversations with providers and challenged providers to ask the screening questions necessary to provide comprehensive preventive care to our most vulnerable populations which includes oral health status.
Diabetic patients are at a higher risk for developing periodontal disease. They have a harder time with the healing process and responding to pathogen overloads. It is also important to realize that A1C can be impacted by unstable periodontal infection making it very important for our patients to receive care for their periodontal disease - especially our diabetic patients.
We recognize as healthcare providers that we are trying to create healthy living choices for our patients to manage disease and prevent progression. Collaboration between the dental provider and the healthcare practitioner will create the opportunity to increase knowledge and awareness around oral health and the impact it can have on A1C and diabetes stability.
