ASU Employee Wellness 2026: Nutrition and oral health

During this presentation, we will explore the critical relationship between dietary habits and oral wellness. We will examine the protective and harmful effects of everyday dietary choices, explore key nutritional considerations across various age groups, discuss the impact of dry mouth and the role certain medications and supplements play in altering the oral environment and increasing the risk of dental disease. Attendees will leave with practical, evidence-based strategies to support both oral and overall health through informed nutrition choices.
