Managing the Maze of Oral Care Products
Recent scientific studies show strong correlations
between oral and systemic disease, including CVD,
and Diabetes. Periodontal bacteria and
inflammation play dark, supporting roles in the
theater of overall health. We are helped in the
quest for personal health by understanding these
connections and knowing what oral care products
should play leading roles in our oral care
regimen. What is the correlation between oral
disease and systemic disease? What products can I
use to optimize my oral health? What is available
OTC for the oral annoyances of life? This
interactive course will give you the keys to
answer these questions and more. Participants will
leave better equipped to make decisions for their
oral and whole health needs.
Course Objectives
• Explore correlations of the oral/systemic
link
• Understand periodontal disease and its impact on
total health
• Provide prevention strategies for positive oral
health
• Discover OTC products to treat common oral
problems
This course can be
adapted for a 2 or 3-hour time slot. It is best
suited to non-dental professionals, although the
