3. March 1, 2022.
4. The images posted show pathos by trying to worry people of what can happen due to poor oral health. This gives an alternative to those who have poor oral health to get the procedure done. This page on Facebook shows that they are trying to change views on oral health and make it more important, by agency. The visual plays a huge role in agency.
5. It is learned that oral prophylaxis is a helpful procedure to remove bacteria and plaque.

4. Depression and anxiety can be a sensitive subject, and this post is associated with the appeal of pathos. It is bringing awareness to a topic that is rarely associated. This has to do with inflammation and cortisol are associated with depression and anxiety. This is where agency comes. The awareness of this association can be a promotion to good oral health.
5. Depression and anxiety can be associated with oral microbiome, which is the bacteria found in our mouth.

Highlights

*

Anxiety/depression and oral health may be associated via oral microbiome changes.

*

Specific bacterial taxa, but not diversity, were associated with anxiety/depression symptoms.

*

Differences were moderated by proposed mechanisms, including cortisol and inflammation.

*

Adolescence remains an essential developmental period to identify targets for intervention.

Abstract

Purpose

Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent disorders, whose significant burden is compounded by the presence of oral disease. Mental health disorders and oral health may be associated via changes to the oral microbiome, involving increased pro-inflammatory communication and cortisol in saliva. The present study provides the first culture-independent investigation of the oral microbiome considering depression and anxiety symptoms in adolescence, a critical age where these conditions begin to emerge and co-occur. It also investigates whether inflammation and cortisol moderate these relationships.

Methods

Participants ( N = 66) aged 14-18 years (69.70% female) self-reported oral health, depression and anxiety symptoms, and collected saliva samples across two days. Saliva was assayed for cortisol and C-reactive protein (CRP), and used for 16S rRNA gene sequencing to estimate the oral microbiome. Multivariate statistical analyses examined associations.

Results

Overall diversity of the oral microbiome did not differ between adolescents by anxiety or depression grouping (low versus high symptoms), and was not associated with symptom measures. Depression and anxiety symptoms were instead associated with differential abundance of specific bacterial taxa, including Spirochaetaceae, Actinomyces, Treponema, Fusobacterium and Leptotrichia spp. Several host mood-microbial relationships were moderated by proposed mechanisms, including salivary cortisol and CRP.

Conclusions

Oral microbiome composition, but not diversity, was associated with adolescent anxiety and depression symptoms. Longitudinal studies considering these associations would improve mechanistic understanding. This research indicates that adolescence remains an essential developmental period to identify early targets for intervention.

2.U.S. News | Pandemic Bit Into Supply of Dental Hygienists

3. Mar. 2, 2022.
4. This post is from U.S. News and it is giving agency to the lack of dental hygienists due to COVID-19. This promotes people to be patient with dentist office, and a job opportunity. The appeal through pathos is brought out, because people should become worried that there is a shortage.
5. The pandemic of COVID-19 made people become worried about getting sick, including hygienists who were surveyed that left and never went back.
6. U.S. News. "Pandemic Bit Into Supply of Dental Hygienists," U.S. News & World Report L.P. 24 Feb. 2022, https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2022-02-24/pandemic-bit-into-supply-of-dental-hygienists

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
THURSDAY, Feb. 24, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- It might be harder to get your teeth cleaned this year, with a new study showing a shortage of dental hygienists in the United States due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Not unlike many other professions in the United States, challenges persist in dental hygienist employment," said study first author Rachel Morrissey, a senior research analyst with the American Dental Association.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated a voluntary reduction in the dental hygiene workforce and may persist, as some dental hygienists are choosing to permanently leave the profession," Morrissey said in an ADA news release.

The report updates findings from a study of 7,000 dental hygienists nationwide who were surveyed from September 2020 to August 2021. It shows that as of August 2021, fewer than half of dental hygienists who left their jobs during the pandemic had returned to work.

The researchers found that about 8% of hygienists who had been employed in March 2020 had not gone back to work as of September 2020. By August 2021, that rate was about 5%.

Also, almost 2% of study participants said they no longer intended to work as dental hygienists, a possible reduction of 3,300 nationwide, according to the study.

The report also allays concerns that dental hygienists would be at greater risk of COVID. The researchers found the COVID rate among U.S. dental hygienists was less than 9%, compared with about 12% in the general population.

Also, three-quarters of dental hygienists had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, a higher rate than the general public and health care workers outside of dentistry at the time of the study.

"We're pleased to see that dental hygienists have demonstrated continued low incidence of infection and high vaccination, proving the profession's ability to mitigate risk while providing care in a safe manner," said co-author Cameron Estrich, a health research analyst with the ADA Science and Research Institute.

"Increased vaccine availability and greater supplies of personal protective equipment [PPE] should further enable dental teams to continue to follow infection prevention measures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission," Estrich said in the release.

The ASTDD Best Practices Project promotes best practices for state, territorial and community oral health programs. Best Practice Approaches information provided on this Website is meant to help programs develop their best practices within the context of their environment. Through proven and promising best practices, effective programs will be better able to help achieve the Healthy People 2030 Oral Health Objectives and to meet the National Call to Action to Promote Oral Health.

For the purposes of the ASTDD Best Practices Project, a Best Practice Approach is defined as a public health strategy that is supported by evidence for its impact and effectiveness. Evidence includes research, expert opinion, field lessons, and theoretical rationale. For each Best Practice Approach analyzed and reported on this website, varying strength of evidence is observed.

The term " Best Practice Approach" is intended to emphasize there is more than one "best" implementation strategy that may produce successful outcomes. The context of individual state and community programs, and the environment in which they are developed and implemented, may impact whether an implementation strategy is successful. Variables to consider are: leadership, political acceptability, available resources, feasibility, and implementation constraints that are specific to a program's environment. These variables will influence the acceptability and adaptability of best practice approaches.

The Best Practice Approach Reports listed on this website are provided to guide program planning, development, implementation and evaluation. They are meant to serve as a resource to share ideas and cultivate best practices to achieve impact or effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and collaboration or integration.

States, communities and territories have submitted State Activity Submissionsas examples of success stories and lessons learned to serve as models of implementation strategies for best practices or promising practices. ASTDD encourages programs to add to this collection of examples by sharing their program's success stories and lessons learned.
