ESTABLISHMENT OF A DENTAL HOME
FOR PEDIATRIC DENTAL PATIENTS
Dr. Lisa Jacob
Chief of Pediatric Dental Medicine
Dell Children’s Medical Center
Austin, TX
Early Detection
__ Infants be evaluated by a dentist within 6 months
of
eruption of their first tooth and no later than 12 months
__ Allows a dentist to assess a child’s risk of developing
caries
__ Counsel parents and caregivers about what they can
do to reduce risk
© Lisa S Jacob, DDS, MS 2009
Goal

Establish an ongoing relationship
between dentist and the patient, inclusive
of all aspects of oral health care, delivered
in a comprehensive continuously
accessible, coordinated and family
centered way

Dental Home
D0145- Oral evaluation for a patient under
three years of age and counseling with
primary caregiver
Goal: To prevent dental problems

Why complete a caries risk
assessment?
Determine potential for development of Severe Early
Childhood Caries by identifying:
√
Oral Health Status
√
Potential transmission sources
Direct dental anticipatory guidance content
Determine an appropriate recall periodicity schedule for the
child
© Lisa S Jacob, DDS, MS 2009
Caries Risk Assessment Tool
(CAT)
2002- American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD)
adopted CAT for infants, children, and adolescents
2006 AAPD revised the CAT
AAPD encouraged both dental and non-dental health care
providers to use the CAT
Clinicians had to perform an adequate visual examination
of the child’s teeth and mouth
© Lisa S Jacob, DDS, MS 2009

Risk factors to consider
History
Determined by interviewing the parent/primary
caregiver
Clinical evaluation
Determined by examining the child’s mouth
Supplemental Professional Assessment
Optional

High caries risk patient
Each child’s overall assessed risk for
developing decay is based on the highest
level of risk indicator
Single risk in any area of the “high risk”
category classifies a child as being “high
risk”
© Lisa S Jacob, DDS, MS 2009
Child’s use of dental home
Frequency of dental
visits
Never :High risk
Irregular: Moderate risk
Regular: Low risk

Child has decay
Yes: High risk
No: Low risk

Patients with special needs
Especially those that impact motor coordination or
cooperation
Ectodermal dysplasia
Dental enamel is not well mineralized

Parent’s socioeconomic status
Low SES: High risk
Midlevel SES: Moderate
risk
High SES: Low risk

Impaired saliva composition/flow

Long-term doses of medications can
increase caries risk
Impaired salivation
High mineral loss

Time lapsed since child’s last
cavity
<12 months: High risk
12-24 months: Moderate risk
>24 months: Low risk

Child wears braces or
orthodontic/oral appliances
Yes: High risk
No: Low risk

Child’s immediate family has decay
Yes: High risk 
No: Low risk 
The earlier the child is infected…
the higher the risk of caries
Vertical transmission ↓ Mother to child
Horizontal transmission ↔ Sibling to sibling

producing foods
Mealtimes: Low risk
1-2 snacks: Moderate risk
>3 snacks: High risk

Nutritional counseling for control of
dental disease
D1310
* Frequency of intake is more important than overall
quantity
* “Grazing” between meals should be discouraged
* Avoid frequent consumption of sodas
* Sweet intake should be limited-mealtime
© Lisa S Jacob, DDS, MS 2009
Bacterial Cultures
Identify the presence of
cariogenic bacterial infections
© Lisa S Jacob, DDS, MS 2009
Caries Susceptibility Test
D0425
If mother has had active dental decay in the past 12
months, dentist may perform a bacterial culture on the
mother
If primary caregiver’s bacteria count is significant, the
dentist will develop prevention strategy
Minimizes the risk of mom transmitting the infection to
the child
© Lisa S Jacob, DDS, MS 2009
Recommendations for caregiver
√ Antibacterial rinse
√ Chew xylitol gum or
mints each day
Studies show that chewing xylitol gum 4 times a day helps
reduce the transmission of cariogenic bacteria from caregivers to
infants
© Lisa S Jacob, DDS, MS 2009
