Foundation, I have the privilege of working with an outstanding group of dental industry leaders to have a direct impact on the oral and overall health of millions of Americans. Your generous donations throughout the year fund multiple $25,000 grants supporting innovative pilot projects around the country that are designed to increase access to oral health care. Specifically, each has the potential to effect real and lasting change in the fight to improve oral health, and ultimately overall health, for all Americans. Since its inception in 2002, your support has enabled the DTA Foundation to provide more than $1.5 million in funding to over 70 unique oral health access projects. In 2012, we created a dental student scholarship program designed to provide scholarships to dental students who have demonstrated a strong commitment to community service. You have helped us award $125,000 in total scholarship funding to 25 students since the launch of this project. The Foundation’s core purpose—“to broaden oral health care awareness and access for those in need”—has led us to focus on oral health’s vital connection to overall health. In fact, the DTA Foundation, in conjunction with the Dental Trade Alliance, recently funded a study focused on the impact of poor oral health on overall health. We should all be proud of the accomplishments highlighted in this 2015 Annual Report, while recognizing that much more is still possible. Supporters, like you, are the most important part of the DTA Foundation. None of this is possible without you.

Record foods students like to eat on one side of the chart. 2. Have everyone say, “three teeth.” Ask: Did you notice how you used your teeth to say those words? Explain that some words depend on your teeth for pronunciation. Record words students use their teeth to say on the other side of the chart.

3. Draw an egg on the board. Explain: Eggs and teeth both have a hard outside and a soft inside. Just like the egg’s shell protects its soft inside, the hardness on the outside of the tooth protects the soft inside of your tooth. Ask: Did you know your teeth are soft inside? 4. Explain: To keep teeth healthy and strong, brush them for two minutes, twice a day. Send home the Family Fact Sheet at www.scholastic.com/2min2x and tell students to use a song or a two-minute video to time themselves brushing for two minutes.

ORAL HEALTH IMPACTS
BY RETHINKING THE MEDICAL CURRICULUM.
AS A PROFESSOR O F FA M I LY M E D I C I N E , Dr. Olapeju Simoyan has observed a telling reaction among medical students. When courses cover topics such as the examination of the eyes or ears, students embrace this material as part of the curriculum. Yet when oral health enters the conversation, attitudes change. “People question why they have to learn it,” she says. “They might ask, ‘Is this dental school?’ “Because dentistry and medicine have developed separately, people forget that the mouth is part of the body.” Even today, throughout most of the country, the practices of dentistry and medicine run

Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Poor oral health may be linked to miscarriage, premature birth and low birth weight.
Emergency Room Visits Toothaches remain a common reason to pursue emergency treatment.
Chronic Kidney Disease
Severe gum disease increases the risk of death in chronic kidney disease patients.
Menopause
Oral health is an important part of health counseling for peri- and postmenopausal women, given that the incidence of periodontitis increases after menopause. Hormone replacement therapy appears to be a protective measure.

Cerebral Vascular Disease/Stroke
Bacteria in the mouth leads to oral inflammation, which appears to play a role in blood clots and clogged passageways.
Coronary Artery Disease
Connecting Oral Health to Overall Health Diabetes People with diabetes, who have a weaker resistance to infection, are more susceptible to gum disease. In turn, gum infection may contribute to insulin resistance, making it harder for people with diabetes to keep their blood sugar stable.
Pneumonia Bacteria in the mouth can be aspirated into the lungs, causing respiratory disease such as pneumonia.
Inflammation and infection caused by oral bacteria might be linked to heart disease, clogged arteries, stroke and endocarditis (when bacteria from the mouth or another part of the body takes up residence in the heart).

designed a series of oral health lectures and workshops for TCMC’s first-year students. She invited oral surgeons to teach about dental-medical health connections and dental hygienists to lead hands-on demonstrations, such as the application of fluoride varnishes. One oral surgeon, for example, taught how to examine the mouth and cheeks while doing a standard head and neck exam. In other workshops, students learned simple procedures to perform prior to referral to a dentist for more extensive work: applying fluoride varnishes (with materials also funded by the grant) and performing dental blocks, using local anesthesia to alleviate pain in lieu of potentially harmful prescriptions. By hearing compelling, real-life cases, students also learn of the complications and even fatalities that occur because

for Life, a free online curriculum created by a group of primary care physicians and dentists with similar goals as her own. For TCMC graduate Cham Sante, M.D., one of Simoyan’s students, these lessons became concrete during her medical residency at an Albuquerque, New Mexico, hospital. “They are even more important and necessary than I thought at the time,” she says. “When you have a patient sitting in front of you, and you’re thinking back three or four years to the education you received because of this grant—that’s irreplaceable.” For Sante, these “extremely under-taught” lessons are especially important for her work in emergency care, where she addresses the gamut of health concerns for an underserved population. “We see a lot of dental pain and dental abscesses,” she explains— “serious oral health issues that could be
