IADH 2018 – 24th International Association for Disability and Oral Health Congress ()

We look forward to working with the Turkish Society for Disability and Oral Health to make this a most worthwhile and memorable occasion. Poor oral health carries a high burden for people with disabilities and disadvantages and impacts on their general health and quality of life. Our chosen theme will consider the influence of early life factors relative to genetic and later life factors on adult oral health and ageing. A life course approach will allow us explore and consider chains of risk that can be broken and consider times and types of intervention that may be especially effective, particularly during key life transitions, e.g. late adolescence to early adulthood and dependency in older age. It is an optimistic approach, but one which raises questions for policy, training and research. Ensuring better oral health for people with disabilities and disadvantages requires a team approach and at IADH we offer a friendly, inclusive and professional global network of like-minded individuals. We encourage participation and attendance from all dental and allied specialities alongside interested inter-disciplinary professionals from health and social care. We look forward to meeting and welcoming you in Dubai.
