Highlights

Patients receive different, and often times conflicting, nutritional and dietary advice from health professionals, the media and advertising. Dental health professionals need to provide patients with consistent nutrition and diet advice using an evidence-based approach. A number of significant advances have been made in the understanding of how diet and nutrition relate to both a persons wellness, as well as to chronic diseases such as dental disease, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity and cancer. Patients are often uninformed about effective diet and nutritional approaches to these diseases. This lecture will focus on presenting the latest information relating diet and nutrition to disease prevention.

The session will allow attendees to:

  • To help patients understand the scientific basis of preventive nutrition and healthy diets
  • To learn the difference between evidenced-based and non-evidenced-based nutritional science
  • To review the scientific principles of patient nutritional recommendations

The session will take place April 26 at 2:30 – 5:00 pm.
