Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) affects your quality of life and your overall health. The ability to safely swallow is vital for adequate nutrition and hydration, and it prevents foods and liquids from entering your lungs, where they can cause pneumonia. Depending on which part of the swallowing process is affected, dysphagia can be described as:
• Oral dysphagia — when the problem is in the mouth, usually due to the movement of the tongue
• Pharyngeal or oropharyngeal dysphagia — when the problem is regarding food passing through the throat
• Esophageal dysphagia — when food is unable to move down through the esophagus

Swallowing disorders can lead to tooth decay and other oral health issues if they cause food or liquid to remain in the mouth. This can increase the risk of cavities and other oral diseases.

During this CE webinar, we will review:
• Causes of dysphagia
• Treatment options available
• Why the oral cavity is affected by this condition
• How a Triple protection dental tooth cream of fluoride, nano-hydroxyapatite (calcium and phosphate) and Xylitol can help patients with dysphagia   ( disclaimer , AGD PACE Statement )
