Monitoring & Management
The medical home is an ideal setting to:
- Manage conditions that affect medical and dental health, and provide guidance and support to patients to improve both oral and overall health.
- Evaluate and initially manage oral emergencies.
- Apply fluoride varnish for prevention of caries and silver diamine fluoride for the treatment of caries, particularly in locations where dental services are not available.
