Overview of webinar presentation
In the back of all dental healthcare providers’ minds is the thought that all health starts in the mouth. It’s challenging to articulate exactly how that happens, and that’s what tonight’s webinar aims to do. The infant mouth is embryologically one of the first things to form beginning shortly after the brain stem formation. Who cares? You will! Once you get the inside look at all the things the mouth does to support overall health, even food choices, your conversations with new parents will change. The face is more than a kissing spot on a baby.
One obvious thing we’ll cover is the obvious fact that the mouth is made for eating the nose is meant for breathing. Oral breathing, starting in utero, yes that’s right-ish, can be solved before the first birthday. Learn a little forgotten anatomy, and a little forgotten chemistry, and a little forgotten dentistry in this one-hour lively course delivered by top webinar star Shirley Gutkowski.
