Oral Health Symposium 2023 *new*!
Introduction
Oral Cancer is estimated to have a global incidence of 4 cases per 100 000 people. Traditional causes such as alcohol and tobacco combined with a growing spread of human papillomavirus infections makes the risk population not only growing but also becomes more divers and more heterogenous. Early screening is now, more than ever of great importance. As leading oral health professionals in the area of oral health promotion and prevention, the dental hygienist has an important role to play in every phase of the care continuum for patients with cancers of the lips, oral cavity and head and neck region. This symposium aims to provide dental hygienist, dental hygiene students and other oral health professionals with an overview of the importance of oral hygiene during the prevention and care continuum regarding oral cancer.

Oral Health Symposium 2022
Introduction
As the average lifespan increases, our society is challenged in multiple areas. Although many people have the fortune of growing old without the loss of many functions, there is an increasing number of elderly who have to deal with these kinds of losses. One of the major contributors to quality of life at old age is Oral Health, as it is a key indicator for an overall health and welbeing. But a good Oral Health consists of more than a clean prothesis alone. This Symposium aims to contribute to good Oral Health for elderly by bringing together key professions and strengthen the awareness and collaboration between them.
