Elevating the Dentist's Standing as a Primary Care Practitioner
with Edward Zuckerberg, DDS,FAGD
Painless Social Media LLC
Dentistry is no longer a separate discipline from Medicine and it is time that we represent ourselves as Oral Health Specialists, an integral part of the primary care team.
A discussion of the science of oral disease and how it either causes or directly influences the major systemic maladies affecting mankind.
Additional discussion on current and future therapies that will raise the standing of Dentists as one of, if not the most important member of the primary health care team.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will come into this presentation aware of an oral-systemic connection but without an understanding of the exact science of how oral diseases translate directly into systemic diseases. They will leave with a new understanding of the process and hopefully realize that in their role as Oral Health Professionals, they have the power to have huge general health impacts on their patients beyond improving their oral health.
