- W4290349519 abstract "In the United States elderly persons are the least likely of any age group to utilize dental services. With the increase in the elderly population and expansion of interest in their dental care, our understanding of the barriers to that care is particularly important. Studies have indicated that cost of treatment, fear of dentistry, functional independence and poor general health are of little significance in explaining the low utilization patterns of this age group. Perceived need seems to be the strongest predictor in deciding whether dental services are sought by an individual. Two programmes established by The University of Washington aimed to enhance the utilization of dental services by the elderly. One provided free screenings for over 65's on low incomes, coupled with a low cost dental care scheme. Although it was found that the convenient location of a dental clinic was a valuable incentive for the increased uptake of services, the difficulty remained one of patient perception of need. The second programme sought to overcome this latter problem by providing information on the importance of oral health to the independent elderly. This included a weekly class for small groups conducted by a health educator over a 6-week period together with a self-monitoring chart for each participant. It is anticipated that the heightened awareness aroused by this education programme will translate into perceived need and thus greater dental service utilization by the participants." @default.
