Children’s Oral Health: The Science We Overlooked—and Why It Matters Now

FREE WEBINAR | FEBRUARY 10, 2026 | This webinar explores how early childhood oral health influences whole-body development—shaping airway growth, sleep, nutrition, behavior, and long-term disease risk—while examining why traditional prevention strategies fall short and how early interventions impact lifelong oral and systemic health.(1 credit)

Children’s oral health is often discussed narrowly in terms of cavities and brushing habits, yet modern science shows that early oral health plays a foundational role in whole-body development. This webinar explores how oral health in childhood influences airway development, sleep quality, nutrition, behavior, immune balance, school performance, and long-term disease risk. Participants will examine why traditional pediatric prevention strategies often fall short in real-world home settings and how daily oral care, product design, pH balance, and early microbiome development shape lifelong outcomes. Even clinicians who do not routinely treat children will gain critical insight into how early oral health decisions influence the adult patients they care for every day.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain how children’s oral health influences whole-body development beyond teeth.
  2. Describe the relationship between pediatric oral health, airway development, sleep, nutrition, behavior, and school performance.
  3. Identify why common pediatric prevention strategies often fail at home.
  4. Discuss the importance of pH balance and microbiome development in early life.
  5. Apply prevention-focused principles that support lifelong oral and systemic health.
