"Autoimmune Disease and Dentistry"
Instructor: Randy F. Huffines, DDS, FRCSEd
There are currently over 100 autoimmune diseases some directly impacting the oral cavity. Medications used to treat these conditions have important side effects. Dr. Huffines will begin by explaining how our amazing immune system works. Then we will explore what causes the body’s immune system to attack itself causing autoimmune disease. Some of the most important autoimmune diseases that impact the oral cavity or the delivery of dental care will be described. You may be shocked to find out what common diseases have an autoimmune component. The dental implications of Post-COVID Syndrome, a largely autoimmune condition affecting millions in the United States, will be covered in detail. Finally, attendees will be given specific recommendations on how to answer a medical consult requesting dental clearance before patients begin certain chemotherapeutic interventions. Join Dr. Huffines for a comprehensive overview of this important and rapidly developing dental field.
