Bridging oral and heart health: What dental leaders need to know

This webinar is on-demand and can be viewed at your convenience.

Oral inflammation may play a role in cardiovascular outcomes — yet medical and dental care often operate in silos.

In this on-demand webinar, dental and clinical leaders from Nationwide Children's Hospital, Texas Children's, Asian Health Services and Scenic Bluffs Community Health Centers discuss the growing body of evidence connecting oral health and cardiovascular disease and how clinicians across disciplines can better coordinate care.

Together, they explore the latest American Heart Association statement on oral health and cardiovascular disease and its implications for integrated care.

Insights include:

The scientific evidence informing the American Heart Association statement
What the oral health–cardiovascular connection means for dental practices
Practical ways to improve coordination between medical and dental teams
How the Healthy Smiles, Healthy Hearts initiative is supporting cross-disciplinary collaboration
