Whole Body Health – what do we know and where are we going?

This webinar presents the current knowledge around oral and systemic health and disease.

Oral health has often been isolated within health systems in many countries, separating the mouth from the body and underestimating the importance of oral health for general health. Many oral diseases share common social determinants and modifiable risk factors with the most common noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), making oral health a key indicator of overall well-being. In recent decades, evidence and understanding of systemic disease and the distribution of dental pathogens throughout the body has increased this webinar will present the current evidence and discuss communicating this to your patients.

Learning objectives:

• Understand the current evidence in oral/systemic disease
• Understand what we know about oral health and COVID-19
• Communicating with your patients about oral and systemic health
