Linking Dental With Medical

Studies confirm that proper dental care plays a key role in helping to ensure overall good health and control of systemic diseases such as diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Information on the tie between oral and overall health can have a positive impact on the health of your patients, as well as the financial health of your practice. By having an understanding of this connection, you will be able to help your patients recognize the true importance of good dental health, increasing case acceptance and patient loyalty. Dr. Stoel, Senior Dental Consultant for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, presented information on this topic at the 2007 Dental Managers Conference in Bloomington, MN.
