Event details
Agenda
Oral health as a window to whole-body health examines the role of the oral cavity as both a marker and mediator of systemic health. In this webinar, James Goolnik will explore the links between oral health, nutrition, inflammation, glycaemic regulation, sleep and the oral microbiome. The session will consider how presentations such as periodontal inflammation, xerostomia, tooth wear and dental caries may relate to broader physiological imbalance. Drawing on clinical practice and current evidence, James will outline how a prevention-led, root-cause approach can support more integrated healthcare, and why oral health assessment should be part of the wider conversation in nutritional therapy and whole-person wellbeing.
Agenda:
- Why oral health matters in whole-body health
- The oral microbiome, inflammation and systemic links
- Nutrition, blood sugar balance and common dental problems
- What signs in the mouth can reveal about wider health
- Practical ways nutrition professionals can support oral health
