Oral health is one of the top ten health topics in Healthy People 2030 with specific 10-year oral health objectives (Healthy People 2030, 2020). Other national organizations, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) (2011a, 2011b), Health Services Resource Administration (HRSA) (2014), the National Interprofessional Initiative on Oral Health (NIIOH) (2017), American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) (Mitchell-Royston et al., 2014), Oral Health Nursing Education and Practice program (OHNEP) (Haber et al., 2019; Haber et al., 2017; Haber et al., 2020a; Haber et al., 2015; Haber & Hartnett, 2019), and the Santa Fe Group (SFG) (Garcia et al., 2010) have been catalysts in advancing the need for an interprofessional approach to promoting oral health and its links to overall health and oral health training for non-dental providers. The OHNEP program located at New York University’s Rory Meyers College of Nursing has proposed replacing the traditional HEENT (head, ears, eyes, nose, and throat) exam with the HEENOT (adding to this exam teeth, gums, mucosa, tongue, and palate) to address oral-systemic health issues (Haber et al., 2015).

For follow-up consults, you can limit your exam to the relevant issues, usually VS, Constitutional, HEENT, Neck, Chest, CVS, Abdomen, Extremities, Neuro/Psych and Skin. Don’t forget that you need at least 12 bullet points for a detailed exam. In the follow-up notes, you can include the seven nutrition components in the constitution section or add another section labeled Nutrition or Nutritional Exam or Nutritional Status.

Additionally, existing clinical assessments should include an oral health component. Most importantly, the oral examination should be taught changing the ‘HEENT’ exam to ‘HEENOT.’[31] While it is important for students to report improvements in their knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to oral health, it is increasingly important to demonstrate that students consider oral health in their differential diagnoses and consistently assess oral health risk. Clinical assessments should include identification of, attention to, and documentation of oral health concerns, comprehensive oral exam and risk assessment, and oral health-related social determinants of health in standardized and real-life patients.

The mean annual frequency of infections, manifestations of autologous GVHD, and sequelae of immunosuppression are presented in Figures 1–3. Patients experienced frequent infections in multiple organ systems, including pulmonary, skin, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and HEENT (head, ears, eyes, nose, or throat; Figure 1). Of note, sepsis occurred in 40% of patients annually (Figure 3). Moreover, 70% of patients had manifestations of autologous GVHD (Figure 2).
