Concise Health Information for You and Your Patients: From Cardiovascular Disease to Supplements

Boston, MA •Saturday, March 19, 2016 • 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

In spite of impressive technological advances in the field of medicine, heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. Dental offices are seeing more and more patients with heart disease. Greater than 1 in 3 adult patients have one or more types of heart disease, and it is the most common medical condition that dental professionals confront. 

By achieving a better understanding of the topics of cardiovascular disease and the immune system, you can make immediate and practical changes that will improve the lives of not only your patients, but yourself as well! 

This course will blend Dr. Lichon’s personal experience with cutting edge research to carry maximum relevance for the attendees.
