Course Description
Nutrition
There is a large spectrum of food related intolerances that include Celiac Disease (CD), food allergy, lactose intolerance and intolerance to FODMAPs. These disorders are highly prevalent in the general population and thus also among dental patients. Additionally, they require increased attention from dental clinicians, in terms of how they may impact the patient’s oral cavity. This session will encompass guidelines on how to easily and safely treat dental patients who require gluten-free, dairy-free, lactose-free and/or low FODMAP diets.
“The educational teaching methodology used in this course is live, interactive lecture presented via Zoom webinar with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Both the live webinar and the PowerPoint presentation incorporate a variety of audio and visual cues to enhance audience members’ understanding and retention of key concepts. In addition, question and answer periods are provided for at the conclusion of each section of the live webinar.”
