Oral Health Program Part 1
A. General Data
1. Description of site
Mauriceville Middle School is located on 22 acres of land (some is currently
undeveloped) at 19952 FM 1130 in Orange, Texas. It is comprised of three separate
buildings. The main building is made up of classrooms with the main offices and the gym
were both built in 1954. A newer building was built to add classrooms in 2000. Until
1971, it was grades K through 12 then in 71 it was consolidated with Little Cypress, to
make the Little Cypress-Mauriceville school district. The school then became just
Mauriceville Middle School with grades 6th-8th. Mauriceville Middle School serves as an
educational structure, funded by the state government. (1)
Little Cypress-Mauriceville CISD mission statement is to graduate young adults with the
knowledge and skills necessary for success in an ever-changing technological society by
guaranteeing each student an individualized and well-rounded education. (4)
2. Description of Target
This oral health program is focusing in on a 6th, 7th and 8th grade physical education class
made up of both girls and boys. The class is made up of honor students and some special
education students. This Oral Health Program will have sessions with class of 20-25
students who are not interested in athletic sports but still need the physical education
credit.
3. Description is Staff Population
The staff member that is working with this program is the instructor of the PE class. The
instructor is a teacher and the PE coach, he keeps the students in shape and instructs them
in physical activity and exercise. The class instructor has a college degree and a teaching
certificate to teach in the state of Texas. (3)
4. Description of Services Provided
The coordinator of activities at Mauriceville Middle School is the Assistant Principal. She
coordinates activities for the entire school, 6th 8th grade students. They have no current
events coming up. Their future plans include keeping their regular class schedule which
includes 7 class periods, each 50 minutes long and a 30-minute lunch period. Each
student is required at least one year of physical education during their time in middle
school. (1)

5. Other Pertinent Data

According to the Mauriceville Municipal Utility District General Manager the fluoride
level stands near 0.97% and the highest was in 2014 at 1.37%. There are near 8,000
residents serviced from the Mauriceville Water Supply Corporation. The General
Manager also stated that fluoride was not added to the water, that it was already present
in the ground water. (2, 5)
B. Information Related to Dental Health
1. The only service provided related to dental health is the fluoridated water in the
facilities. The students have the freedom to use water fountains located throughout the
campus. There have been no previous dental programs in the past seven years,
previous information is unknown. The staff holds basic oral health knowledge of
brushing and flossing. The school nurse is available to help manage any oral health
related injuries or pains but cannot do much more than pain relief, ice packs and
referrals to dentist or physician.
C. Dental Health Status
1. In an oral health study done by the CDC and NHANES, 53.7 percent of adolescents
aged 13 to 15 years had dental caries experience in at least one permanent tooth in
1999-2004. In the same group of children 17 percent of them had untreated dental
decay in at least one permanent tooth. (6) According to a newer 2009-2010 survey
done by the CDC ethnic/culture group and social economic status may have an
influence on oral health. In a group of 13-15 year olds the total percent of untreated
tooth decay was 11.4%. In the Non-Hispanic/White children the total percent of
untreated tooth decay was 9.4%. In the Non-Hispanic/Black the total percent of
untreated tooth decay was 24.6%. In the Hispanic population the total percent of
untreated tooth decay was 11.7%. Under the poverty level the total percent of
untreated tooth decay was 20.2%. Also above poverty level the total percent of
untreated tooth decay was 9.4%. (7)
2. According to research done by American Academy of Periodontology in 1991,
periodontal disease in children across America is rare, 0.2-0.5%. Depending on how
children treat their oral health at a young age can influence their risk of developing
Periodontitis. (8)
3. According to the most recent Gallup.com Youth Survey, 64% of teens say they brush
their teeth twice a day or more, 34% report brushing their teeth only once a day and
2% say that they don't even brush their teeth daily. The survey also showed that girls
are somewhat more likely than boys to brush twice a day or more, 70% vs. 58%. (9)

4. In 2007, 44.5% of people 2 years and older had a dental visit an increase from the
previous year. 30.2% of children and adolescents aged 2 to 18 years at or below 200
percent of the Federal poverty level received a preventive dental service, also an
increase. According to the 2003 National Survey of Childrens Health, only 14% of
Texas children have been to the Dentist. (6)
Goal:
To educate and inform the students at Mauriceville Middle School of the importance of
proper oral hygiene and the proper techniques.
Objectives:
1. Assist the students in the developmental techniques of daily plaque control.
2. Decrease the plaque score of the students at Mauriceville Middle School by 15%.
3. Increase the Dental Health knowledge of the students at Mauriceville Middle School
by 15%.
Rationale for Program:
The goal of this oral health program is to educate and inform the students at
Mauriceville Middle School of the importance of proper oral hygiene and the proper
techniques. There are many health programs that have been done before that are similar
to the this one. One oral health program that was started in Texas in 2001 used the school
nurses to educate and inform the students about oral health. In this specific oral health
program, the school wanted to encourage good oral hygiene and also to educate on the
prevention of problems that can arise in the oral cavity. This program taught the parents
and students about how to prevent tooth decay by using the correct oral hygiene methods.
This specific program also taught about fluoridated water, did nutritional counseling, and
talked about the significance of wearing mouth guards while playing contact sports. (10)
Another oral health program that is in the state of Texas comes from the
Department of State Health Services (DSHS). This program inspires those that live in the
state of Texas to increase their mental knowledge of proper oral hygiene and health and to
also try to sustain it. The oral health program that is put on by the Department of State
Health Services partners with numerous agencies and people across the state to help
recognize the oral necessities that the state needs. The Department of State Health
Services also provides the resources that it takes to meet the needs of the people of Texas.
Currently there are oral health programs that are put on by the Department of State
Health Services in six Texas cities which are- Lubbock, Houston, Austin, Midland, San
Antonio and also Tyler.
There are also oral health programs that the dental public health professionals
provide many preventive services to Texas residents who are, eligible low income,
underserved, pre-school, and school-aged children. Appropriate discussion and
counseling are an important part of each session that the dental professional does. Topics
included are oral hygiene, dietary habits, injury prevention, nutritional habits, substance
abuse, oral piercings, and speech development. Oral hygiene counseling done by the

dental public health professional involves both the parent and patient. Initially with
young children, oral hygiene is the responsibility of the parent. As the child develops,
home care is performed jointly by parent and child. When the child can demonstrate the
understanding and ability to perform personal hygiene techniques, the health care
professional should take responsibility to counsel the child. Effectiveness of home care
should be monitored at every session and include discussion of the daily oral health care
routine. In 2012-13 academic year, an oral healthcare program in Boston, Massachusetts
provided oral health education to school children. (11, 12) The Mauriceville Middle
School Oral Health Program is different from the others mentioned above because it does
not involve the parents nor the school nurse. It relies solely on the dental hygiene students
instructing and the two staff members that work at the school.
Program Design:
A. Activities:
Session 1: Take a baseline plaque score of each student. Educate students over the proper
brushing technique. Demonstrate and have the students practice their brushing
techniques. Have the students take a pre-test.
Session 2: Take an updated plaque score, and review the proper brushing technique.
Educate the students over proper flossing method, demonstrate and have the students
practice flossing.
Session 3: Take an updated plaque score of each student. Educate students over gingivitis.
Also review the students brushing and flossing.
Session 4: Take a final plaque score of the students. Educate over Periodontitis. Have the
students take a post-test. Review previous session topics, compare baseline and final
plaque score.
B. Constraints and Alternative Strategies:
1. Holding the attention of the students could be a possible constraint. To avoid this, we
could encourage them with rewards for participation or correct answers.
2. Attendance may vary according to what day it is. To help with this we would work
with the instructor so the students are aware that a presentation is occurring.
C. Resources:
Session 1: Disclosing solution tablets, toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, floss threaders,
patient napkins, bib clip, disposable mirrors, power point presentation, computer,
projector, pre-test, post-test, pens, paper, gloves, facial mask, caviwipes, plaque score

D. The Process of Periodontitis:
1) First, the patient may develop gingivitis - inflammation of the gum around the
base of the teeth.

16

2) Persistent gingivitis can result in pockets developing between the teeth and
gums. These pockets fill up with bacteria. (which results in periodontitis)
3) With the bacteria in the body and our bodies response is to start destroying the
bone and connective tissue that hold teeth in place. Eventually the teeth start
becoming loose, and can even fall out.
