Course Description: 

We are living longer! The dental team must recognize which medical conditions may influence your dental treatments, and conversely; how your dental treatments may affect your patient's medical status. This lecture will highlight the changing physiology of the elderly and how it will impact your dental care. Discuss the aging pulmonary, cardiac, hepatic and neurologic systems, as well as the plethora of prescriptions, over-the-counter medications and herbal supplements consumed by seniors, including their oral effect on the oral cavity.

Biography:

Dr. Michael Wiseman, D.D.S., graduated from McGill University, Faculty of Dentistry in 1985. He then completed a one-year multidisciplinary residency at the Montreal Children’s Hospital.
