Description:
Explore the critical connection between nutrition and the oral microbiome. Good nutrition is crucial, and dietary patterns impact your patients’ oral and systemic health in ways you might not expect. With nutrition misinformation rampant, it can be difficult to separate the science from the trends. This course will debunk the myths relating to nutrition and oral health and describe the current available evidence on how nutrition can support oral homeostasis. Oral health practitioners will leave this presentation with a comprehensive understanding of the role of a healthy dietary pattern, as well as the ability to incorporate these considerations into conversations to provide a patient-centered approach to oral healthcare. This session offers fresh insights for oral healthcare providers dedicated to elevating patient outcomes through interdisciplinary care.
