Synopsis:
Emerging science has identified several key nutritional components which have been shown to have a tremendous impact on the oral microbiome, as well as on the hard and soft tissue in the oral cavity. This program will serve to educate dental professionals regarding the bi-directional relationship between dietary patterns and oral health. Oral health professionals will be introduced to whole-food dietary patterns, food synergy, prebiotics, probiotics and phytonutrients and their impact on the integrity of the oral cavity. Attendees will learn the scientific evidence surrounding the impact of healthful dietary patterns on the oral cavity, affording them the opportunity to provide evidence-based nutritional guidance to their patients.
