Learning Objectives: 

• Identify the latest wearable technologies designed for oral health monitoring.
• Discuss the role of real-time data in patient motivation and behavior change.
• Demonstrate how to integrate wearable tech data into assessment, treatment planning, and interprofessional collaboration.

Wearable health devices—once reserved for fitness tracking—are now entering the realm of oral health. From smart retainers to intraoral biosensors, these innovations offer real-time monitoring of oral pH, bruxism episodes, and salivary biomarkers linked to systemic conditions. This course explores how dental hygienists can interpret data from wearables, integrate findings into patient education, and collaborate with other healthcare providers for proactive, personalized care.
