TARGET POPULATION Child (2 to 12 years) Adolescent (13 to 18 years) Adult (19 to 44 years) Middle Age (45 to 64 years) Aged (65 to 79 years) Aged 80 and over Male Female Parents, guardians, and family caregivers of children, young persons and adults with celiac disease. MAJOR OUTCOMES CONSIDERED For persons who have celiac disease: to maximize health benefits and minimize adverse effects by promoting the performance of the Procedures at the right time with the appropriate precautions, and by discouraging the performance of the Procedures at the wrong time or in the absence of appropriate precautions. RECOMMENDATIONS UNDERSTANDING THE MEDICAL CONDITION Terminology used in this Advisory Resources consulted Canadian Celiac Association Canadian Society of Intestinal Research National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse 1. Aphthous stomatitis, canker sores, a type of stomatitis that presents with shallow, painful ulcers. 2. Atrophic glossitis, a condition in which papillae are lost from the dorsum of the tongue, resulting in a sore and highly sensitive surface that makes eating difficult. 3. Celiac disease, celiac sprue, sprue, gluten intolerance, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, non-tropical sprue, which a. damages the absorptive surface of the small intestine b. leads to malabsorption. 4. Cholesterol, is a. a waxy fat called a lipid produced naturally in the body b. essential for the body to make Page |2 CDHO Advisory | Celiac Disease 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. i. cell membranes ii. vitamin D iii. hormones c. of two types i. low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the ‘bad’ cholesterol ii. high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the ‘good’ cholesterol because it carries LDL away from the arterial walls where the atherosclerosis accumulates. Dermatitis herpetiformis, an intensely itchy, blistering skin rash that affects persons with celiac disease. Gluten, a protein which a. is found in wheat, rye, barley and possibly oats b. may also be present in manufactured products such as medications, vitamins, and lip balms. Gluten-free diet, chiefly includes a. cereals without wheat or barley malt b. fruits and vegetables c. meat, poultry, and fish d. milk-based foods e. potatoes, rice, corn, beans Malabsorption, impaired ability to absorb nutrients, such as a. carbohydrates b. fat c. protein d. vitamins and minerals Malnutrition, inadequate nutrition resulting from a. inadequate or unbalanced diet b. malabsorption c. particular medical conditions d. problems with digestion or absorption Villi, microscopic finger-like projections that line the epithelium of the small intestine through which nutrients are absorbed.

THE MEDICAL AND MEDICATIONS HISTORY The dental hygienist in taking the medical and medications history-taking should 1. focus on screening the patient/client prior to treatment decision relative to a. key symptoms b. medications considerations c. contraindications d. complications e. comorbidities f. associated conditions 2. explore the need for advice from the primary or specialized care provider(s) 3. inquire about a. pointers in the history of significance to celiac disease, such as dental enamel defects and other oral manifestations b. symptoms indicative of comorbidities, complications and associated conditions that should be taken into consideration in decisions about implementing the Procedures c. the patient/client’s understanding and acceptance of the need for oral healthcare d. medications considerations, including over-the-counter medications, herbals and supplements e. problems with previous dental/dental hygiene care P a g e | 10 CDHO Advisory | Celiac Disease f. problems with infections generally and specifically associated with dental/dental hygiene care g. the patient/client’s current state of health h. how the patient/client’s current symptoms relate to i. oral health ii. health generally iii. recent changes in the patient/client’s condition. IDENTIFYING AND CONTACTING THE MOST APPROPRIATE HEALTHCARE PROVIDER(S) FOR ADVICE Identifying and contacting the most appropriate healthcare provider(s) from whom to obtain medical or other advice pertinent to a particular patient/client The dental hygienist should 1. record the name of the physician/primary care provider most closely associated with the patient/client’s healthcare, and the telephone number 2. obtain from the patient/client or parent/guardian written, informed consent to contact the identified physician/primary healthcare provider 3. use a consent/medical consultation form, and be prepared to fax the form to the provider 4. include on the form a standardized statement of the Procedures proposed, with a request for advice on proceeding or not at the particular time, and any precautions to be observed. UNDERSTANDING AND TAKING APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS Infection Control Dental hygienists are required to keep their practices current with infection control policies and procedures, especially in relation to 1. the Recommendations published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (a frequently updated resource) 2. relevant occupational health and safety legislative requirements 3. relevant public health legislative requirements 4. best practices or other protocols specific to the medical condition of the patient/client. DECIDING WHEN AND WHEN NOT TO INITIATE THE PROCEDURES PROPOSED 1. There is no contraindication to the Procedures. 2. With an otherwise healthy patient/client whose symptoms are under control and whose treatment is proceeding normally, the dental hygienist should implement the Procedures, though these may be postponed pending a. medical advice, which is likely to be required if the patient/client i. has symptoms or signs of exacerbation of celiac disease ii. provides a history of comorbidity, complication or associated condition of celiac disease that should be taken into account in decisions about implementing the procedures iii. has not complied with pre-medication, including antibiotic prophylaxis, as directed by the prescribing physician P a g e | 11 CDHO Advisory | Celiac Disease iv. has not recently or ever sought and received medical advice relative to oral healthcare procedures v. has recently changed significant medications, under medical advice or otherwise vi. has recently experienced changes in his/her medical condition such as medication or other side effects of treatment vii. is unable to provide the dental hygienist with sufficient information about 1. medications 2. bleeding tendency 3. treatment of comorbidity, complication or associated condition viii. is deeply concerned about any aspect of his or her medical condition b. a pharmacist’s advice if confirmation is required of the absence of gluten from any medications required in the course of the proposed oral healthcare. DEALING WITH ANY ADVERSE EVENTS ARISING DURING THE PROCEDURES Dental hygienists are required to initiate emergency protocols as required by the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario’s Standards of Practice, and as appropriate for the condition of the patient/client. First-aid provisions and responses as required for current certification in first aid. RECORD KEEPING Subject to Ontario Regulation 9/08 Part III.1, Records, in particular S 12.1 (1) and (2) for a patient/client with a history of celiac disease, the dental hygienist should specifically record 1. a summary of the medical and medications history 2. any advice received from the physician/primary care provider relative to the patient/client’s condition 3. the decision made by the dental hygienist, with reasons 4. compliance with the precautions required 5. all Procedure(s) used 6. any advice given to the patient/client. ADVISING THE PATIENT/CLIENT The dental hygienists should 1. urge the patient/client to alert any healthcare professional who proposes any intervention or test that he or she a. has a history of celiac disease b. is taking medication 2. should discuss with the patient/client, as appropriate a. the risks of gluten in medications and preparations used for oral hygiene self-care b. the importance of the patient/client’s i. self-checking the mouth regularly for new signs or symptoms ii. reporting to the appropriate healthcare provider any changes in the mouth c. the need for regular oral health examinations and preventive oral healthcare P a g e | 12 CDHO Advisory | Celiac Disease d. oral self-care including information about i. choice of toothpaste ii. tooth-brushing techniques and related devices iii. dental flossing iv. mouth rinses v. management of a dry mouth e. the importance of i. an appropriate diet in the maintenance of oral health ii. help from a registered dietitian who specializes in celiac disease f. comfort level while reclining, and stress and anxiety related to the Procedures g. medication side effects such as dry mouth, and recommend treatment h. mouth ulcers and other conditions of the mouth relating to celiac disease, comorbidities, complications or associated conditions, medications or diet i. pain management. BENEFITS/HARMS OF IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS POTENTIAL BENEFITS 1. Promoting health through oral hygiene for persons who have celiac disease. 2. Reducing the adverse effects of overlooking celiac disease by a. recognizing celiac disease at an early stage from dental enamel defects b. ensuring that the medical history is appropriately recorded c. generally increasing the comfort level of persons in the course of dental-hygiene interventions 3. Reducing the risk that oral health needs are unmet. POTENTIAL HARMS 1. Causing harm by failing to alert patients/clients to the possibility of gluten in the medications they use for oral hygiene self-care. 2. Performing the Procedures at an inappropriate time, such as in the presence of comorbidities, complications and associated conditions for which prior medical advice is required. 3. Disturbing the normal dietary and medications routine of a person with celiac disease. 4. Inappropriate management of pain or medication.
