Dental Care

“Taking adequate steps towards good oral hygiene can be a life-changer for people with bleeding disorders to avoid the risk of undergoing complex and invasive dental procedures.”

Aspect-based

According to the Platform for Better Oral Health, oral diseases and oral conditions are the most prevalent non-communicable (or chronic) diseases in Europe. They impact people throughout their life course, with higher prevalence and worse outcomes among vulnerable populations.

In fact, caring for oral and dental health at every stage of life is even more essential for people with congenital bleeding disorders. If left untreated, this patient population can experience significant bleeds in the mouth, resulting in increased complications in their dental treatments. Many patients and treating dentists fear each other, often due to a lack of education on both parts.

Voices of Bleeding Disorders Patients: Experiences with Dental Care

The EHC created this questionnaire to better understand people with bleeding disorders’ experiences with oral health care and dental treatment.

You have complete control over your privacy in this questionnaire. You can choose to remain completely anonymous, or you may decide to share your personal details. If you choose to share your information, it may be used in EHC awareness-raising campaigns and educational materials to help other patients and healthcare providers better understand the experiences of people with bleeding disorders. You can also choose whether you would like the EHC to contact you in the future regarding related initiatives.

Your answers will help us better understand how to support patients and raise awareness among healthcare providers. Thank you for taking part — your voice matters!
