Webinar course objective and description:
Traditionally in dentistry, we have been taught to ask our patients to brush, floss and visit us twice a year for checkups to stay healthy. In the last few years we have been hearing that by fixing dental problems and specifically dental / gum disease, we can help patients to prevent major medical problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, thyroid conditions, and many other inflammatory-related conditions. It would be great to be able to help patients be healthier by fixing their dental/gum disease but is it possible?
In this webinar, you can find the latest research and answer the question: Does inflammation have a dental etiology or is inflammation indicative of systemic disease? What comes first, dental/gum disease or an inflammatory-related medical condition?
