Upcoming Webinars

This presentation, sponsored by BioGaia, offers an evidence-informed, clinically relevant approach to managing the oral environment and explores the shift from broad bacterial eradication to ecological management of the oral microbiome. Participants will examine how biofilm behaviour, microbial dysbiosis, and host response contribute to caries and periodontal disease, and consider how clinical strategies can reduce pathogenic burden without disrupting beneficial species. Using a practical weed, seed, feed framework, the webinar will introduce strategies to disrupt harmful biofilm, support beneficial bacteria, and create conditions that favour a healthier oral ecosystem.  This presentation will be available to access on October 21, 2026.

Oral cancer and head-and-neck malignancies remain among the most serious conditions in dental hygiene, yet early detection greatly improves outcomes.
