Course Description:
We are a diabetic nation. In fact, by 2050, it is estimated that one in three American adults will be diabetic. And given the bi-directional effects of diabetes on periodontal disease, if you don’t know your patient's glycemic status, you might just be treating patients with one hand tied behind your back. This webinar will examine the pathologic progression from health to pre-diabetes to diabetes and the evil role of chronic fructose exposure. We will also discuss a newly validated dental office-friendly pre-diabetes and diabetes screening tool. You will not want to miss this if you are a practicing dentist or hygienist.
