Recorded Webinar: Nutrition and Oral Health: A Primer for RDs

This webinar was presented on Wednesday, June 29, 2022, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET. 

Emerging evidence-based research has identified several key nutritional components which are essential for oral health promotion and oral disease prevention. Research shows us that lifestyle influences food choices and thus must be taken into consideration in order to individualize nutritional guidance to dental patients.

Join Ellen Karlin, MMSc, RDN, LDN, FADA, for a webinar focused on the impact healthful eating patterns have on the oral cavity and dental treatment outcomes. Ellen will discuss how RDs can provide patients with the critical information they need to maintain healthy teeth and gums and prevent oral infectious diseases. This session will enable RDs to understand the inextricable link between diet, oral, and systemic health.

Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, nutrition professionals will be better able to:

  1. Recognize the synergy between nutrition and the integrity of the oral cavity.
  2. Discuss the emerging evidence-based research and published data supporting the potential benefits of nutrient-dense foods for optimal oral health.
  3. Explain the role of the RD in the dental health care setting and the importance of collaboration between oral health professionals and dietitians.
