Get a deeper understanding of the connection between nutrition and its impact on oral health. As part of the continued focus on the ADA’s Action for Dental Health, this Presentation will reveal the relationship between dietary patterns and oral health, and how the latter is critical to preventing chronic and systemic disease. By working collaboratively, oral health advocates can reduce the burden of oral diseases and empower people with knowledge to live a healthy life.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize the relationship between nutrition and oral health
  • Learn about emerging scientific resources, illustrating the two-way relationship between nutrition and oral health
  • Discuss current evidence-based nutrition guidelines to promote oral health and health equity, and identify educational and advocacy solutions to improve health outcomes
