Diabetes is a dramatically growing disease, affecting hundreds of millions worldwide at enormous societal costs. Topical research proves a bi-directional link between periodontal disease and diabetes and that periodontal health benefits diabetes patients. As dental professionals, we can act from a holistic perspective and encourage positive lifestyle changes, influencing not just the oral health but the overall well-being of our patients.
Topics to be covered include:
- Applying contemporary knowledge to recognise and advise patients already diagnosed or in the risk zone for diabetes
- Hands-on clinical tips and communication tools will facilitate patient dialogue on healthy habits and common concerns
