Analysis Of Dental Care

In elementary school, one of my favorite days in grade school would be when my mom came in for her oral hygiene lessons. Even though my mom could have easily demonstrated proper techniques on how to brush and floss teeth with a dental model for my classes, she knew how excited I would always get when she called on me to personally demonstrate. I would brush in confidence those tooth surfaces, at a 45 degree angle and with small circular strokes. Promptly in the lesson, I would put the toothbrush vertically for those inside surfaces of my front teeth. My mom would end the brushing technique with a friendly reminder to brush for a full two minutes, twice a day. She also told the kids to think of triangles and to floss along the mesial and distal surfaces of their teeth, rather than straight down and cutting their gums. With every upcoming yearly demonstration, I honed that routine of mine, ensuring to my classmates the best way to keep the plague out. Even to this day, I have still got my middle school sketchbook in my desk drawer, where I had illustrated the cover as, “Dr. Pham, DDS”. Starting in my high school summer, I had my first shot to assist my parents with what I have always known to be as, “The Office.” In the day-to-day, I strove to follow my dad’s office procedures. Imagine, my young, impressionable self holding onto the large suction and water syringe as a patient’s wisdom were extracted; gums cut, that red blood flowing throughout the procedure.

The purpose of this document is a critical study and analysis of the oral care provided by nursing staff as part of the Ventilator Care Bundle (VCB) and to assess whether the frequency of mouth care performed is related to the prevention of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) in patients mechanically ventilated (Zilberberg et al. 2009).

Many low income areas have dental therapists as part of their local dental team. Many people in these areas have never been to a dentist or do not go every six months as recommended this poses many other health problems. There has been case studies and data showing that in these areas dental health

Regardless of your political stance, dental care is a service that all people should have access to, privately, or publicly. In the United States alone, millions of Native Americans on reservations are stifled from receiving the much needed dental care they require, the consequences are harmful to their health and prosperity.

We’re returning to our ever-popular dental 101 series that discusses key things you should know in relation to your daily dental routine. You’ve been to the dentist. You floss every day, and you brush at least twice a day, just as you have been told to do. You do everything right, yet you’re starting to see something from your gums that concerns you. Blood. Perhaps you ignore it. Maybe it seems like a passing thing, but bleeding gums are never normal, and it pays to give them immediate attention. So just what could it be that is causing your gums to bleed? Let’s take a look at some of the most common culprits.

Cure Violence is an all-encompassing public health approach for violence prevention strives for community level effects by targeting ongoing conflicts, working with high-risk individuals, and by using the community leaders and functions (i.e., rallies, marches, barbeques, etc.) in an effort to shift unfavorable norms within the community (Ransford et al., 2016). Moreover, Ransford et al. posit a direct correspondence between the Cure Violence model and Chicago violence, as funding lapses in implementation have been correlated with increased “shootings and killings” (2016, p. 1) during the 2007-8, 2011-2, and 2015-6 time frame. Chicago attributed a 32 percent decrease in shootings to the communities that participated in the Cure Violence program. In addition to Cure Violence, statistics associated with the CeaseFIre initiative, a program that began in 2001, accounted for a 94 percent increase in shootings in districts where the budget was cut. The data shows that the budget crisis in Illinois has impacted various programs that have had a positive effect on violence in Chicago (Ransford, Johnson, Decker, Payne, & Slutkin,

Dentistry is the profession in which the dentist helps with the prevention and treatment of mouth diseases and malfunctions. The dentist performs many duties within their profession. Some duties the dentist may do on a daily basis are: diagnose oral problems, fill cavities, write prescriptions, perform root canals, treat gum disease, examining radiographs, removing root decay, and providing instruction to the patients along with many other duties. Becoming a dentist allows for many different working opportunities. A dentist has the opportunity to work in the military, in a hospital, in administration, or they can even work in a classroom and teach.

This reflection acts as my fourth reflection since I have started my internship at Comfort Dental under the Guidance of Dr. Trino Nuno. The semester is coming to an end, and I have enjoyed my time at Comfort Dental., I previously had a clinical and administrative internship at Smile Works Dentistry in Rockwall, Texas and I can now tell you that my experience at these two dental practices was incredibly different. At Smile Works, I quickly got used to the way the practice was run because it was not that complicated and I only had one doctor’s schedule to manage. However, at Comfort Dental I still struggle with managing day-to-day functions. The reason I struggle is that Comfort Dental has three doctors and a lot more staff. Also, the computer system that I mastered at Smile Works is not the same computer system that they use at Comfort Dental. I got the chance to use all to same skills in this internship. I answered phones, checked that patient’s insurance plans are eligible to be billed and scanned paper documents into a hard drive.

Patient Joseph Gray came into our office on February 21st, 2015 for a complete evaluation and x-rays using his Assurant Dental Insurance which covered his initial evaluation. During the evaluation the doctor determined that he needed a deep cleaning and a root canal, build up and crown on tooth # 7 following more restorations. Patient was desperate to fix tooth # 7 and # 8 being that those teeth are in the front and had a visible cavity. The doctor could not start the treatment on the same day being that he was too busy, so a new appointment was given on March 14, 2015. On this day, Mr. Gray was seen by the hygienists whom perform half of the cleaning, and was also seen by the doctor whom completed a root canal on tooth # 7. After treatment

Many of my hobbies require proficient manual dexterity. For example, I hand-make bracelets made out of string; this requires consistency to maintain the pattern. I am also certified to build and fit below and above knee prosthetics in Vietnam. The building process requires a lot of hands on work using tools (screw drivers, jig-saws, ) and the fitting process requires adjustments to the prosthetic to make it comfortable for the patient. The process behind building and fitting prosthetics for amputees is similar to the process of building and fitting oral prosthetics for dental

From a very early age, I had a natural affinity for teeth. I wanted to know how they form, and differ in other individuals. As a toddler, I would grab hold of the staff’s teeth at my local daycare and attempt my own version of a dental inspection. It came quite apparent to my mother that either I had a serious fetish or I was finding a passion for a future profession. Even though my mother loved my curious personality, she wanted me to understand that there are boundaries that I must adhere too. Over time, I stopped playing with stranger’s mouths and started using my hands for more important duties. On Saturdays, after soccer practice, my father would drive us to food banks to volunteer our time. During my time as a volunteer, I did such activities such as feeding the homeless, packing boxes of food for families in need, and assisting the building of homes with habitat humanity. Thankfully, I could continue my development as a community leader throughout college and adulthood.
