What To Expect
There is a critical learning need for healthcare professionals across various specialities to work together, understanding how each speciality affects and contributes to individuals' whole-body health.
To start, the mouth is the gateway to the body. Gum issues, particularly inflammation along the gumline, can increase your risk for serious overall health concerns. The WHO estimates that oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people worldwide. With the right oral care, that statistic can be lowered.
Individuals living with diabetes often manage multiple health conditions, with a constant focus on blood glucose levels. It may come as no surprise that good oral hygiene is key for diabetics. Experts have discovered an important two-way relationship between diabetes and periodontitis. A healthy lifestyle starts at the gumline, as bacterial plaque can lead to serious gum issues, which are linked to a variety of other health problems. Periodontitis, in particular, has shown the strongest link between oral health and overall health issues.
Oral diseases are the most prevalent non-communicable diseases (NCDs) globally. Untreated caries in permanent teeth are ranked #1 by the WHO, affecting more than 2.4 billion people worldwide, or 35.3% of the global population. Severe periodontal (gum) disease is ranked #6, affecting 743 million people (10.8% of the global population). The prevalence of oral diseases varies by country and is influenced by socioeconomic factors, educational level, nutrition, availability of sugary foods, oral hygiene practices, and access to dental care.
People with diabetes often manage multiple health conditions. With a focus on blood glucose levels, it is important for diabetics to maintain good oral hygiene. Research has shown a two-way relationship between diabetes and periodontitis.
People with gum disease are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. This seminar will explore how plaque on your teeth may be connected to plaque in your arteries.
During pregnancy, women focus on their health and the health of their baby. However, oral health may not be a top priority. This seminar will examine how pregnancy can increase susceptibility to gum issues.
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia affect over 35.6 million people worldwide, with numbers expected to double every 20 years, reaching over 115 million by 2050. Healthcare professionals may be surprised to learn there is a potential link between gum disease and cognitive decline.
Whether you are a young provider, a seasoned practitioner, or somewhere in between, this presentation will bring positive energy to your life. Dentistry is rewarding for many reasons, but it can also be mentally challenging. Lifelong learning is essential to provide compassionate, state-of-the-art, evidence-based care to patients.
