Moving Forward Together

Description

Women’s health is more than just medical or dental care—it’s a holistic, interdisciplinary journey. This Women’s History Month, AAWD brings together leading experts in dentistry and medicine to explore how oral health plays a vital role in overall wellness.

Panel Topics Include:
✔️ The oral-systemic health connection—how conditions like cardiovascular disease, pregnancy complications, and autoimmune disorders are linked to oral health
✔️ Breaking down silos in healthcare to foster collaboration between physicians, dentists, and mental health professionals
✔️ Educating the next generation—how medical and dental schools can better prepare future providers for integrated care
✔️ Empowering patients—helping women take charge of their own health and advocate for their families
