Description | We have done a great job of informing the public about the need for oral preventive care. They know to come to the dental office to get their teeth “cleaned” and checked for cavities. We cannot stop there! We need to keep going to help our patients think of ways to protect their mouths for the health of the teeth, gingiva, and other structures and understand how their oral health is involved in their physical health. That is why we should look for Whole Mouth Health. In this program, we review what Whole Mouth Health means. The clinician discusses oral microbiome balance on hard and soft oral tissues and maintaining equilibrium. The program includes assessments for caries, periodontal disease, the new AAP periodontal disease classifications, oral cancer, and how oral inflammation may affect the body. Also included are strategies to engage patients in their oral care and develop treatments to manage the oral flora to promote not just oral health but Whole Mouth Health. Learn to:
