If you have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and think that oral health shouldn’t be top of your list – you may be surprised! Findings from recent studies suggest that there are significant links between oral health and those living with RA and other common co-morbidities such as heart disease and diabetes.

In this National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) webinar, which took place on Wednesday 31 July 2024, Iain Chapple, Professor of Periodontology at University of Birmingham and co-lead of the NIHR Birmingham Biomedical Research Centre Oral, Intestinal and Systemic Health research theme, joined Maddy Roberts, Families and Young Peoples Service Manager at NRAS to discuss all things Dental Care, Oral Health & RA.
