The oral/systemic link is based on the connection between vascular health and inflammation. Heart attacks and ischemic strokes are triggered by an inflammatory process that can be initiated and exacerbated by periodontal disease. High-risk periodontal pathogens are causal of atherosclerotic changes. The "Bale/Doneen Method" bridges the gap between medicine and dentistry while promoting optimal health and wellness in all patients while preventing heart attacks and strokes.
In this course additional information will be provided to investigate the science behind oxidative stress, arterial disease and oral health.
Speakers
