New Guidance for Infant Feeding: Solving the Mystery of Food Allergy Prevention for Dental Professionals
Presented by Ellen Karlin, MMSc, RDH, LDN, a nutrition consultant who holds a Master of Medical Science degree in nutrition education and is a fellow of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Ms. Karlin has no relevant financial relationships to report.
There is new guidance for infant feeding recommendations, based on randomized controlled trials, regarding the prevention of food allergy. The newly released 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans include key messages that are relevant to the way in which we should be counseling dental patients regarding infant feeding as a way to prevent food allergy. The change in guidance has created uncertainity, confusion and fear among patients with regards to how and when to introduce allergens into a baby's diet. This course will provide practical advice you can share with your patients for food allergy prevention.
Upon completion of the course, the participant will be able to:
- Discuss the leading hypotheses for the rapid rise in childhood food allergy.
- Formulate how to address the nutritional and oral needs in the pediatric food allergy community.
- Discuss the current evidence-based food allergy prevention guidelines that can be integrated into individualized, comprehensive oral health care messages.
