This Continuing Professional Development (CPD) workshop aims to provide dental healthcare professionals with a deep understanding of the intricate relationship between diabetes and oral health.
As diabetes continues to rise globally, it is crucial for oral health practitioners to be well-versed in the multifaceted impact of diabetes on oral health and vice versa.
The workshop will commence with an overview of the pathophysiology of diabetes, its prevalence, and the physiological mechanisms that link diabetes and oral health. Participants will gain insights into the bidirectional relationship, exploring how diabetes can exacerbate oral health issues and how poor oral health may contribute to the progression of diabetes.
Dr Shah is a dedicated healthcare professional with a dual expertise in dentistry and dietetics. Driven by a passion for understanding the intricate relationship between diet and chronic diseases, Priyal pursued further education, recently graduating with a Master’s in Dietetics with Honours from Curtin University. This educational journey was motivated by Priyal’s desire to bridge the gap between nutrition and dentistry, recognising the significant impact that dietary behaviours have on general health and therefore oral health.
