Access to dental care for people with bleeding disorders: survey results of hemophilia treatment centers in the U.S.
Special Care in Dentistry 2016 November
AIM: The goal of this project was to gather data and identify factors affecting access to dental care for people with bleeding disorders in the U.S.
METHODS: The Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health and the National Hemophilia Foundation conducted a joint survey. The survey was completed by 102 of the 147 hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs) in the U.S. This represents 69% of the HTCs in the country. Each HTC provided specific information concerning the dental services and education provided for patients.
RESULTS: Survey results revealed inconsistent levels of oral health services available to patients. Major factors limiting access to care include finances, patient anxiety with respect to dental treatment and a lack of providers with the skills to treat this population.
CONCLUSION: Improvement in oral health for persons with bleeding disorders requires appropriate education for providers, patients and families. Additionally, both public and private health funding must be re-evaluated as it relates to people with bleeding disorders.
