Examples of working differently through primary care networks will open up opportunities to ensure prevention is as important at 70 years of age as it is at seven.

Importance of oral health for people living with cancer

Saturday 19 October 2019 – 11.45 to 12.15 – Dental Update Theatre
Changing patient behaviour: interventions that work
Tim Newton, professor of psychology as applied to dentistry, King’s College, London will discuss how most dental disease could be prevented by changes to diet and oral hygiene behaviours. There is extensive guidance on what patients should be doing to maintain and improve oral health but much less guidance on how clinicians can deliver effective interventions to promote behaviour change in the time limited environment of dental practice.
This session will provide an overview of theory informed evidence-based approaches to behaviour change in dental settings.
Please visit the Colgate stand H50 to learn more about the next generation Colgate Total toothpaste designed to proactively control and protect against bacteria on teeth, tongue, cheeks and gums.
An on-stand lecture ‘Whole Mouth Health – the next generation of everyday prevention for oral health’ will start every 30 minutes.
