It also focuses on educating clinicians and patients on the link between cardiovascular health and oral health.

The informational session will take place at 11 a.m. CDT. It will provide dentists with an overview of the initiative, benefits of participation and next steps.

Delta Dental and Delta Dental of California are national sponsors of the American Heart Association’s Healthy Smiles, Healthy Hearts initiative.
