Respiratory Diseases: Dental Implications

Welcome to our course on the dental implications of Respiratory Diseases. Understanding respiratory diseases is very important for dental professionals as it enhances patient safety and allows for effective management through tailored dental treatments.

In this course, you will look at common respiratory diseases such as COPD, asthma, obstructive sleep apnoea, and tuberculosis, and their systemic and oral health implications.

This course is specifically designed for dentists, dental professionals and students to enhance their knowledge and skills in managing patients with respiratory diseases to ensure comprehensive and safe dental care.

The course focuses on identifying respiratory diseases, assessing their impact on oral health, and modifying dental treatments to minimise complications.

We look into strategies for patient education on oral hygiene, collaboration with medical professionals for comprehensive care, and understanding the risks associated with sedation and medications.

By the end of this course, you will be well-equipped to describe the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of key respiratory diseases, evaluate their impact on dental treatments, and implement effective management strategies.

If you're not yet a member of Dentaljuce, we highly recommend you to join and gain access to this comprehensive course.

This course, along with over 100 other CPD courses, is available for a single membership payment.
