“Leveraging the Oral-Gut Connection for Better Patient Outcomes”– Cass Nelson-Dooley Join Cass as she shares her expertise with IAOMT members in discovering the important role the gut plays in oral health. Be ready for a deep dive into the secrets of the gut and its connection to the oral cavity. a. The mouth and oral microbiome b. The gut and its microbiome c. The Oral-Gut Connection i. Inflammatory bowel disease ii. Colorectal cancer iii. SIBO and functional dyspepsia iv. How Stomach Ulcers and Heartburn Can Start in the Mouth 1. H. pylori lives on dental biofilms 2. Those with H. pylori infection (stomach) have high levels of HP on dental plaques d. Treatment Considerations She will review a case study, discuss appropriate testing, and then review natural treatments. Takeaway Points: * The gut and oral microbiomes are of major interest because they powerfully affect whole-body health. * The gut and the mouth have so many similarities and close proximity; they are like “kissing cousins.” * The mouth is uniquely positioned at the front entrance to the gastrointestinal tract and therefore can influence things downstream. * For stubborn illnesses of the gastrointestinal tract, oral dysbiosis could be a possible hidden cause. * Address gut and mucosal health to improve oral health. Cass is the author of the book: Heal Your Oral Microbiome. Have you had any stubborn oral conditions that just would not heal? Aggressive decay that kept returning? The origins may just be due to gut dysbiosis. And, on the flip side, the oral microbiome plays an important part in both gut and systemic health. The best of both worlds is for both dental practitioners (dentists as well as hygienists) and functional medicine practitioners to work together to help the patient achieve total systemic health. Collaboration is key. We need to learn more about the role gut dysbiosis plays in our patients’ oral microbiomes so we can effectively find the root causes and guide our patients toward health. We must look beyond the teeth and gums for the real answers to oral diseases. Hope you can join us for this very revealing and informative CE course! The course will be recorded and will be available for viewing on the IAOMT website. Looking forward to seeing you.
