Hello again, listfriends!

Recently, while searching for info about dry mouth, I submitted a
request to the National Oral Health Information Clearinghouse.  Now I
want to pass on to you the material that just arrived from them, and to
let you know how to ask for additional information.

First, the info, which is about resources available from both the NOHIC
and other sources:

A.  Two items from the Geriatric Oral Health Program, U of Kentucky, 201
Medical Center Annex 5, Lexington, KY 40536-0078; tel (606) 323-5656;
fax (606) 323-9136:

1) Keeping the Older Person's Mouth Healthy Videotape (Parkinson's
Disease Version) $39.95
2) Keeping the Older Person's Mouth Healthy:  Caregiver's Handbook (PD
version) $12.00

The NOHIC material I got describes these items in some detail; they look
terrific!

B. From the American Parkinson Disease Association, Inc.; (800)
223-2732:

Fact Sheet:  Oral Health Care and Parkinson's Disease.

This is apparently one of a whole list of APDA "supplements"; the very
helpful woman who answered the phone offered to send me any and all of
them.

C. From the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, Inc.; (800) 457-6676

1) Brochure: Parkinson Patient at Home.

Many topics, including a brief dental care section.

2) Parkinson's Disease:  A Manual for the Health Care Team.  $10.00.
Includes a section on dental health preservation.

D) The NOHIC also included an abstract from a professional journal that
might be useful to dentists treating PWP.  The title is "Management of
Orofacial Manifestations of Parkinson's Disease with Splint Therapy:  A
Case Report".  Authors are Durham, T.M., et al.  The article appeared in
the journal SCD:  Special Care in Dentistry.  13(4): 155-158.
July-August 1993.  The article includes 19 references, so it might lead
your professional to other useful info beyond the narrow scope of this
article.

Now, the info about NOHIC itself.

The NOHIC is a service of the National Institute of Dental Research,
which is itself part of the National Institutes of Health.  They have a
web site at http://www.aerie.com/nohicweb. Their e-mail is
[log in to unmask]  You can e-mail a request for information; they will
perform a search for you and send the results to your snail-mail
address.  Mine arrived in about 10 days.  Great service, no cost.

If you have any questions, pls contact me privately or via CARE (I'm
still "on" PARKINSN, but have it set to NOMAIL).  Hope this will be
helpful.
