Keynote: Dentist Case Rep
Statement of the Problem: Many dental patients exhibit oral signs that are telling of systemic health problems. A review of how closely mouth inflammation is related to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease and sleep apnea will be reviewed. Current protocols from the United States on efficiently screening patients for systemic diseases and recognizing sleep issues during a dental appointment will be reviewed. This approach to dentistry can empower a patient to better understand how their life choices can lead them down a road to chronic disease and help them to develop strategies that can create better overall health and wellness. With much of the public struggling to finance preventative health care and having an education on what supports health, this lecture will strategize how the dental professional can positively create a significant impact on the overall health of their patient, which leads to longevity of dental health. Here is an example of one graphic to be used in the power point presentation.
