Here is an outline of the course Dr. Thiru just attended:

PART 1: An avalanche of evidence is demonstrating the link between your patients’ mouth with their lifestyle habits: lack of sleep, shift work, poorly managed stress, overeating & sedentary living. Patients appreciate the dental professional who sees the bigger picture & understands the relationship between the body, mind & mouth. In this lively morning session you will gain new appreciation into the miraculous nature of the human body and to the way every part is connected.

• Recognize the destructive INFLAMMATORY CASCADE in your patients from their modern lifestyle habits.

• Understand how chronic dehydration adversely influences your patient’s entire biochemistry.

PART 2: The afternoon session presented ADVANCED strategies to create change in your patients’ daily health practices & maybe yours? Across the board, your patients’ lifestyle cannot be ignored as you work at getting them to optimal health. From sedentary living (Is Sitting the New Smoking?) to mismanaged stress, you will discover a new way of looking at how chronic inflammation and disease is supported by your well-intentioned patients.

• Why certain patients do not respond well to your hygiene programs.

• How stress & disrupted sleep shows up in your patients’ mouth & body.
• Team building strategies to get your entire office on board focusing on WHOLE BODY BODY HEALTH.
