Mouth and Tooth Fitness: Preserving Our Total Health Holistically

Mouth and Tooth Fitness: Preserving Our Total Health Holistically

Samira Willson, RDH, MIM and Lori Grace, MA
Sunrise Center – Thursday, August 1, 2019

Discussion covers general information about teeth, gums, mouth, bite alignment and jaw. Understanding the the challenges that exist and how best to modify techniques will be shared, including what optimal oral health is and DIY home care tools and solutions improve your overall dental and physical health.

Lori joins Samira with a PowerPoint and discussion that shows clearly how our mouths are portals for systemic diseases we can get, like cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer. She will show you how you can detect, to some degree, early stages of a disease through examining your own mouth and teeth or those of someone you care about. She also shares new information about oral HPV and HPV-related throat, head and neck cancers, which are increasing rapidly in the population.

This course will give specific take home tips and ideas to improve technique, explore new avenues for optimizing home care and demystify which products or tools are best for you.

Samira and Lori bring many dental, oral products and tools that are far beyond regular dental care.
