Abstract
Established research has shown an association of poor oral health and adverse pregnancy outcomes. The Helping Appalachian Parents and Infants (HAPI) project enrolls pregnant West Virginia women at increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and includes an oral health component including provision of a powered toothbrush. Previous research has shown this cohort had better birth outcomes in comparison to state averages, and a positive trend in those women who brushed ≥13x/week compared to those who brushed <13x/week (Weiner 2018). This analysis estimates the average 6-month medical costs of post-natal life for HAPI infants, as well as by mother’s brushing frequency.
