WHERE IT BEGAN.. • OHA hosted an Older Adult Symposium in 2013, gathering healthcare professionals to identify resources currently available to health professionals, caregivers and older adults about their oral health
• As a result of the Symposium, OHA convened an advisory panel and partnered with a geriatric dentist and community health educator to create an engaging oral health education curriculum for seniors…
TRENDS IN AGING NETWORK
TOOTH WISDOM®: GET SMART ABOUT YOUR MOUTH Workshop for independent, community-dwelling older adults delivered in settings where they naturally congregate: senior centers, libraries, places of worship. OHA trains oral health professionals to educate community-dwelling older adults to build self-efficacy in caring for their oral health • Working and communicating with older adults • Cultural Competency • Presentation skills and group facilitation Encourages older adult participants to recognize that prevention is critical at all ages • Demonstrates good oral hygiene practice • Participants take a pre/post assessment • Receive oral hygiene products and list of resources within their community & tip sheets GOAL: Become an evidenced-based oral health education curriculum disseminated to seniors nationally

TOOTH WISDOM®: GET SMART ABOUT YOUR MOUTH PILOT RESULTS 2014-2016 129 workshops for 2,700 older adults by 237 dental hygienists trained in-person by OHA in 5 pilot states: MI, IL, TN, OR, MN
94% of participants in 2016 (n=577) reported that the workshop has helped them feel more confident to manage their oral health.
2017 IMPLEMENTATION MODEL Changes needed: • Schedules of full-time hygienists did not align well with schedules of aging sites (workshops cancelled) • Volunteer model wasn’t allowing for an ideal amount of workshops • Aging partner carried a large part of the implementation
Aging
2017 CURRICULUM REVISIONS & ADDITIONS A Curriculum Advisory Council was assembled to inform changes to the curriculum and it’s materials, consisted of 4 hygienists who have conducted several workshops, and one representative from Colgate •
Edits to curriculum itself: added images, less text, larger text
•
Content order reverse: begin with oral health issues that may occur and end with prevention and homecare techniques
•
Edits to questionnaire questions
•
Use of different colored paper for each page of questionnaire packet to increase full completion
•
Inclusion of a feedback form to capture opinions of older adult participants (instead of focus groups from previous pilot years)
*All hygienists wishing to present the curriculum in 2017 were required to participate in an “update webinar” to become abreast of these changes.
