Title: "Surviving to Thriving: The Link Between Airway, Oral Motor Skills, and Optimal Development"
Synopsis:
Understanding typical oral motor development and its connection to multiple body systems places pediatric clinicians as key members of a collaborative team. We have a duty to identify and treat the root causes of oral-motor dysfunction and its impact on pediatric airway, feeding, and speech development. Attendees will become familiar with methods to obtain a comprehensive case history, including red flags for airway and oral motor dysfunction, a variety of assessment tools, typical vs atypical oral motor development, and a number of disorders associated with oral motor dysfunction and airway concerns. We will introduce the START Approach to elevate understanding, identification and treatment of our pediatric clients exhibiting signs and symptoms of airway concerns and oral motor deficits

Speaker: John Kempton, DDS, FACD, MAAOSH
Title: "Lifestyle is the Medicine to Maintain Oral and Systemic Health"
Synopsis:
Lifestyle behaviors significantly impact the oral microbiome, influencing periodontal disease and caries. The bidirectional relationship between lifestyle and oral health extends to other microbiomes, overall health, metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Conventional patient education, especially regarding sugar, has been ineffective, necessitating a shift towards lifestyle coaching to address addictive components and promote meaningful behavior change. Dentistry is at the cusp of a paradigm shift, recognizing the need for personalized dental medicine and embracing lifestyle coaching as a crucial driver for improving patient health outcomes.
