To provide the dental team with tools to screen and assess patients at risk of, or
presenting with, pathology, highlighting the silent endemics, our role in prevention and holistic strategies to enhance clinical practice and our patients’ experience.

​Learning objectives
  • List common extraoral signs in patients with medical or mental health issues
  • Describe common medical endemics and simple screening tools for holistic assessment and prevention
  • Apply novel strategies which enhance patients’ health and experience.
​Learning contentThe dental team is in a unique position to risk assess patient populations who may not see a doctor and as such we can help integrate general healthcare provision. With developing health needs and prevention we can improve patient screening, risk assessment and lead the way in holistic health advice.
