“ Taking the appropriate efforts to improve
oral and dental care for nursing home
residents could have a significant impact
not only on quality of life for nursing
facility residents, but also a meaningful
impact on downstream medical costs for
the health care system by preventing
hospitalizations and death resulting from
medical care needs arising out of poor oral
and dental care.

12. Dentition problems can result
in malnutrition
“ Patients with painful dentition eat less, and if the patient is demented at baseline,
the communication of the painful condition is often missed by care providers.
Dentition problems along with the normal loss of the sense of smell accompanied
with aging can result in signficantly reduced caloric intakes. Malnutrition frequently
leads to immunocompromise and this puts individuals at risk for a whole host of
opportunistic infections such as urinary tract infections and pneumonia, both of
which are common primary diagnoses for nursing home patients admitted to acute
”
care centers.

ongoing self-care and independence.
Senior citizens fear moving into a
nursing home and losing their
independence more than death,
according to a research study that
examines the attitudes and anxieties of
the nation’s elderly population.

Approximately 300,000 cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) are reported annually, associated
with increased morbidity and mortality, and costs up to $50,000 per case.1
In a 2008 study in an acute care facility with 4 critical care units, the implementation of a q4
oral care protocol costing $21.35/day resulted in an annual savings of more than $7,722.1
The January 2012 issue of the JADA reported that patients with diabetes were one third less likely to visit an
emergency department or be hospitalized for the disease when regular dental care was received.2
Undiagnosed dental and oral problems could be a leading cause of malnutrition in elderly people – the
problem may be exacerbated by a failure of residential and nursing homes to ensure residents receive
proper basic oral care. 3
Patients on dialysis often feel thirsty, but are instructed to control their fluid intake. These patients are
constantly looking for a way to relieve their dry mouth and satisfy their thirst.4
