This coming series of the podcast focus on the importance of oral health and its relationship with systemic health.
Neglecting oral care can increase risks of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, low birth weight and premature deliveries. Our teeth and gingiva play a crucial role in our overall health, and as dentists, it is our duty to educate and provide proper care for our patients and the physicians to embrace the fact that periodontal disease is a comorbidity to a broad range of systemic diseases.
I am honored to kick start this series with the Dean of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Mark S. Wolff, where we'll explore the extensive consequences of overlooking dental care. Don't miss this enlightening conversation!
