“Dentistry has moved beyond just treating
the teeth and oral cavity. We are now able to give patients beautiful faces and alleviate
a multitude of medical problems.”
-Yosh Jefferson, DMD,
FAGD, spokesperson for the Academy of General Dentistry [82]
As a dentist, you are concerned
with the oral health of your patients. Folic acid education has relevance to your dental
practice because of the protective role it plays in oral facial cleft prevention.
