Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Oral health information was included in 89.5% of diabetes education programs in states with high diabetes prevalence compared to 85.9% in low prevalence states (P = 0.22). Comparing the high to low diabetes prevalence states, there were significant differences in odds for responding "yes" to the topics "show patients proper tooth brushing (and flossing) techniques" and "managing dry mouth" (Ps = 0.02). However, management of dry mouth, demonstrations and return demonstrations of oral hygiene techniques were covered by 27.0%, 10.1% and < 1% programs, respectively.
