To raise awareness of the importance of oral health, four new fact sheets for patients have been made available for primary care and internal medicine providers.
The topics covered include the following:
- Oral health overview
- Oral health and diabetes
- Oral health and older adults
- Oral health and HPV
The fact sheets available for primary care providers and internal medicine physicians to distribute the material to their patients who may need to improve their oral health literacy. They are available in English and Spanish.
The fact sheets are a product of a partnership between the American College of Physicians and the New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing's Oral Health Nursing Education and Practice Program.
