Course overview

The symptoms of mental illnesses can lead to poor nutrition, which can then result in poor dental health. Individuals with mental illness, especially those with serious mental illness symptoms, may struggle to maintain a proper daily dental care routine and access necessary dental treatment. This course aims to explore the connection between oral health and mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. It also seeks to equip dental healthcare providers with the tools to intervene and improve the overall health of individuals with both oral and mental disorders.
