Oral health is important to systemic health and, in many instances, has a direct relationship. There is growing recognition of the importance of integrating oral health and primary care. Dentists and allied dental professionals can perform screening and preventive services on chronic disease conditions, such as diabetes. This workshop will discuss the relationship of oral health and primary care and showcase ADEA products in support of this integration. In this workshop, members will also describe their unique perspectives on integrated oral and primary medical health from a dental and allied dental lens.
