[JOINT] How Drug Induced Oral Diseases Affect Health and Well Being: Why Evidence Based Research Must Continue

Sponsored by: Oral Health Research
Description: The subject of this symposium proposal is to discuss the effects of medications, tobacco and alcohol, and illicit drug use on oral health. The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Promote Oral Health (2003) recognized the fact that the mouth reflects general health and well being and that oral diseases and conditions are associated with other health problems. As scientific evidence continues to mount relating side effects of medication to oral health and negative health consequences of tobacco and alcohol use upon the oral cavity, the need for evidence based research related to illicit drug use is essential. The purpose of this symposium is to achieve a better understanding of how both legal and illicit drugs affect oral health and in turn, how drug induced oral diseases affect health and well being. The symposium is appropriate for researchers at all levels
