The Role of the Dental Hygienist in a Community Hospital Hemophilia Program

In order to improve the quality of dental care provided to the hemophilic patients at Long Island Jewish-Hillside Medical Center, a part time dental hygienist has recently joined the staff. In this new position, the hygienist is able to evaluate the dental needs of hemophilia team patients, monitor the ongoing care of these patients, and provide liaison between hospital based care and the services provided in the private sector. In addition, preventative care, including examination, radiographic survey, dental prophylaxis, placement of fissure sealants and dietary counseling are provided on a regular direct care basis. This addition to the Comprehensive Hemophilia Diagnostic and Treatment Center has clearly enhanced its ability to provide meaningful, personal dental health care.
