    Study Notes

    Interprofessional Collaborators in Dentistry

    • Primary care physicians are essential collaborators for many patients, and dentists should consider where on the medical history they can find different ways to collaborate with them.

    Occupational Therapists as Collaborators

    • Occupational therapists assist with activities of daily living, such as feeding therapy, and can help patients with accessibility to care for their teeth or gums.
    • Dentists can refer patients to occupational therapists or collaborate with them to create a plan for patients who struggle with cleaning their teeth.

    Other Interprofessional Collaborators

    • Nurse practitioners and physician assistants can serve as primary care providers and collaborate with dentists.
    • Physical therapists can partner with dentists to provide services for patients, such as dry needling for TMD.
    • Social workers can help patients gain access to important resources, complete paperwork, and ensure they have insurance.

    Intraprofessional Collaboration

    • Intraprofessional collaboration refers to collaboration with colleagues within the same profession, such as referring patients to specialists like endodontists or oral surgeons.
    • Dentists can also collaborate with hygienists and other team members within their office to provide comprehensive care.

    Interprofessional Healthcare Team

    • The interprofessional healthcare team extends beyond dental professionals and includes other healthcare providers, such as occupational therapists, physical therapists, and social workers.
    • Dentists should consider collaborating with these professionals to provide holistic care for their patients.

    Counseling and Collaboration

    • Counseling should be infused throughout the patient's care, not just at the end, and should consider the patient's unique situation and needs.
    • Collaboration with other healthcare professionals can provide patients with a range of services and support to influence behavior change.
