Nutrition is an integral component of oral health, and oral health professionals should provide integration of oral health with nutrition services, education and research. Collaboration between dietetics and dental professionals is recommended for oral health promotion and disease prevention and intervention. Scientific and epidemiological data suggest a lifelong synergy between nutrition and the integrity of the oral cavity in health and disease. Oral health is an integral part of systemic and nutritional health. Two primary oral infectious diseases are directly influenced by diet and nutrition. Dental caries and tooth decay is modulated by numerous factors, including diet composition and frequency. Periodontal disease is associated with malnutrition and obesity. Chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease that are modulated by diet and nutrition intervention have oral sequelae. As we advance in our discoveries of the links between oral and nutrition health, practitioners of both disciplines must learn to provide screening, baseline education and referral to each other as part of comprehensive client/patient care. Collaborative endeavors between medical and dental professionals in research, education, and delineation of health provider practice roles are needed to ensure comprehensive health care to persons with oral infectious disease and/or oral manifestations of systemic diseases. This course will review: * Introduction and overview of causes of periodontal disease, relationship between antioxidant function and pathogenesis of periodontal disease * Specific antioxidants and their role, mechanism of actions * Review of the literature of regarding antioxidants and periodontal disease, effects of supplementation on disease * Incorporating antioxidant screening in your practice, rationale, implementation and screening options

Nutrition is an integral component of oral health as well as overall systemic wellness. Dentists and hygienists are in a unique position to improve not only their patients oral health but have significant impact on the quality and longevity of their patients lives. Studies show that nutrition plays a critical role in predicting onset and severity of periodontal disease. Dentists need to consider providing services for their patients that will assess for risk factors associated with suboptimal nutritional status, and then provide appropriate treatment to return these patients to health. With over 50% of dentists reporting a 20% drop in revenue over the past 18 months, we are all looking for an ethical, and relevant profit center to bring into our practices. We will describe a wellness program for the dental office that will not only significantly improve your patients lives, enhance your treatment outcomes by reducing inflammation and supporting your patient’s immune system, but add recurring income to your practice in a highly ethical and relevant way.

Oral health is now recognized to be an integral component of over-all health. This course is designed to educate all dental clinicians (Dental Hygienists, General Dentists and Periodontists) to the value of providing a wellness originated strategy for the modern dental practice. Using saliva as an important source of biological information, the dental office can now understand the potential risk that clinical signs alone cannot provide. Clinical laboratory science using other body fluids has been used by physicians for decades for risk assessment, for diagnosis and for monitoring treatment progress and disease progression or resolution. Today, dentistry now has the opportunity to use laboratory science specific for oral diseases such as periodontal infections for the purpose of providing a more specific biological profile of each patient and intervening with more knowledge about the risk associated with each patient. Plus, high risk genotypes of the human papilloma virus (HPV) are now considered to be separate and independent risk factor for specific types of oropharyngeal cancers and may be considered an important test for the dental clinician in a routine oral cancer exam. This course will show how an easy-to-use salivary rinse can provide vital information for both the clinician and the patient. This biological information in conjunction with clinical information such as dental history and medical history helps to determine treatment strategy on an individual basis for more personalized care. Plus, these tests also provide a way to monitor patients after therapy to determine if therapy actually accomplished the goal of disease resolution. Using Salivary Diagnostics, your patients will receive earlier diagnosis and more definitive treatment at the most appropriate time. With this important information, your patients will understand their need for more definitive treatment because they can easily understand the laboratory reports when explained by the doctor or the dental hygienist.
