World Oral Health Day Webinar: "More Than the Mouth- How Oral Health Fits into the Broader Global Health Agenda"
When most people think of oral health, they think of dental health. But oral health is so much more than just teeth! Oral health is a window into overall health, and is linked to countless conditions including cardiovascular disease, pregnancy and birth outcomes, pneumonia, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease, among others. Yet, oral health is often left out of the Global Health agenda.
Join the Johns Hopkins Center for Global Health and Solidarity Dental Foundation in celebrating World Oral Health Day with a webinar featuring Dr. Hyewon Lee, DrPH, DMD, Director of Global Maternal and Child Oral Health Center at Seoul National University and Dr. Brittany Seymour, DDS, MPH, Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Associate Professor of Oral Health Policy and Epidemiology and Harvard School of Dental Medicine as we discuss the importance of oral health and it's rightful place on the global health agenda!
