- Title
The dental office as a general health promotion center.
- Authors
Levin, Liran
- Abstract
The author reflects on the role dental offices can play as a center for general health promotion. He comments on the growing evidence of how dental and general health are connected and mentions health exams which could be performed in dental offices including measuring blood pressure, body mass index, smoking cessation, and weight loss. He talks about how dentists can become more involved in the overall health and wellness of patients and how this should be supported by health insurance companies.
