Winter Meeting Topics:
The demands of dentistry often come at the expense of a dental professional’s physical health. In this full-day CE Approved program David Meinz addresses the most critical aspects of what it takes to personally maximize a dental professional’s health and quality of life, and how they can help their patients do the same. You’ll learn what you must know about sugar and periodontal disease, sugar substitutes, vitamin supplements, alcohol, and more. Plus, dentistry’s role in preventing America’s #1 killer: heart disease. Lots of great information for you, your family, and your patients.
And lots of FUN too!

ENTERTAINING MANNER THAT KEPT THE ATTENTION OF ALL.”

Making The Dental Connection:
Weight Control and Fitness Helps Reduce Gum Disease:
- A recent study published in the Journal of Periodontology found that those individuals with the lowest Body Mass Index, a measure of body fat, and the highest levels of fitness, had the lowest rates of severe periodontitis.
Fish For Your Smile:
- A recent study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Nutrition And Dietetics found that those who consumed a higher amount of the omega-3 called DHA were less likely to have periodontal disease. Oral Health and Heart Disease: Numerous studies suggest that periodontal disease can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by increasing whole-body inflammation. In addition to improved dental hygiene, dietary and lifestyle changes can also help decrease inflammation levels
