Description

This is an innovative volume that introduces the emerging field of lifestyle dentistry, providing a current and relevant perspective on the strong connections between daily habits, lifestyles and oral health. Drawing on the expertise of over 60 international contributors from dentistry, medicine, public health, and behavioural science, this comprehensive resource features 26 evidence-based chapters that examine how lifestyle factors such as tobacco use, areca nut chewing, alcohol abuse, poor nutrition, sugar-rich diets, obesity, psychological stress, sleep disorders, eating disorders, recreational drug use, and risky sexual behaviours significantly impact oral health. It also addresses the two-way relationship between non-communicable diseases and oral health. Positioned at the intersection of behavioural science and oral medicine, the book provides oral healthcare professionals with a framework for understanding and addressing the multifactorial nature of oral disease. It also looks ahead to future opportunities, examining the potential of digital technologies to transform lifestyle interventions, patient engagement, and oral healthcare delivery.
This previously unpublished topic addresses a significant gap in dental literature. It is essential reading for clinicians, educators, family practitioners, researchers, and students aiming to improve diagnostic insight, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and adopt a holistic approach to oral care. It redefines oral healthcare as a key element of lifestyle medicine, enabling practitioners to promote both oral and overall health through informed, patient-centred strategies.
