Interdisciplinary Dentistry

Interdisciplinary dentistry is an approach that integrates various dental and healthcare specialties to provide comprehensive treatment for patients. It involves collaboration among dental professionals, medical doctors, and other specialists to address complex cases that may involve multiple health issues. This approach ensures that all aspects of a patient's oral health, such as periodontal disease, orthodontics, and oral surgery, are managed holistically. For example, a patient with diabetes may require specialized care that considers both their medical condition and oral health. By combining the expertise of different disciplines, interdisciplinary dentistry enhances patient outcomes, promotes preventive care, and improves overall health.
