Bridging Smiles and Systems: Collaborative Care for Children with Chronic Conditions
Please join us for a live, CME-accredited and CEU-accredited webinar on May 13 from noon to 1p.m., that will explore the critical connection between oral health and pediatric chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma, congenital heart disease, and ADHD.
Participants will learn how these conditions influence dental treatment planning and outcomes, discover practical tools to enhance collaboration between medical and dental providers, and gain strategies to overcome barriers to care—such as transportation, insurance, and provider access—through advocacy and system-level solutions.
Designed for dental and health care professionals, this session equips you with actionable insights to improve oral health outcomes for children with complex needs.
