The oral-systemic conversation your training skipped.

Vital Signs and Smile Lines

Your patient's periodontal chart and their cardiovascular risk are the same conversation. Most of us were trained to have it separately.

A family physician and a dentist work through the oral-systemic evidence together: airway, inflammation, and cardiometabolic risk, for the clinicians who have to act on it Monday morning.
