Course Description: 

Dental hygienists are key health care educators in the dental setting. Oral hygiene instruction includes diet and nutritional counseling for the prevention and/or treatment of caries and periodontal disease.  We will define the impact of diet on oral health, look at dietary contributors to disease, assess patients for nutrition-related risks and learn strategies as to how dietary counseling may help to mitigate these risks.

At the end of the course, participants will:

• Define the impact of diet on oral health
• Identify dietary and oral health risk factors and provide counseling in the dental setting
• Apply strategies to help patients understand how dietary changes may improve their oral and overall health
• Create change using motivational interviewing
