- 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
