Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

969
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Oral

2.7K
The oral stage is the initial phase of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, occurring from birth to approximately 12 to 18 months. During this period, the infant's mouth serves as the primary source of pleasure, with actions such as sucking, chewing, biting, and drinking playing a crucial role in reducing tension. These activities are essential not only for nourishment but also for the infant's psychological and emotional satisfaction.

Oral Cavity

2.9K
The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

94.8K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Oral Health Equity
  • Social Determinants of Health

Background:

  • Access to dental care is crucial for overall health.
  • Existing research often examines single identity factors, overlooking intersectional impacts.
  • Disparities in dental care access persist in the United States.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the combined influence of race, gender, and sexual orientation on dental care access.
  • To analyze disparities in dental service utilization and affordability using an intersectional framework.
  • To contribute a nuanced understanding of oral health equity by integrating multiple identity dimensions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized cross-sectional data from the All of Us Research Program.
  • Applied multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy.
  • Examined 30 distinct intersectional strata defined by race, gender, and sexual orientation.

Main Results:

  • Identified substantial inequities in dental care access across intersectional groups.
  • Racialized, gender-diverse, and sexual minority individuals reported greater barriers to care.
  • Most disparities were attributable to additive effects, underscoring layered disadvantage.

Conclusions:

  • Intersectionality is essential for understanding complex oral health disparities.
  • Layered disadvantages significantly shape oral health outcomes.
  • Integrating gender and sexual orientation into health research enhances the study of oral health equity.
