Diabetes and pregnancy: two key moments to strengthen oral health prevention

The relationship between oral health and general health takes on special relevance in patients with diabetes and during pregnancy — two situations in which the prevention and control of oral diseases are essential. With the aim of offering practical, up-to-date tools to dental hygiene professionals, the PREVI platform offers the option to watch, on demand, the session “Prevention of Oral Diseases in Patients with Diabetes and During Pregnancy,” delivered by Dr. Eduardo Montero. The session covers the main preventive recommendations and the essential role of the dental hygienist in health education and follow-up for these patients. Available in on-demand format, this session allows viewers to explore in depth the scientific evidence linking diabetes and pregnancy to periodontal health, as well as to learn strategies for improving prevention and clinical management of these patients from the dental practice.
