Monique also works as a professor at the Academic Center for Dentistry Amsterdam.\n\nWorking together on oral health\n\n"Ora l diseases such as caries and periodontitis are among the most common life style diseases and the most costly diseases in the Netherlands. There is a clear interaction between oral health and overall health. Yet the mouth r emains completely out of the picture in the prevention agreement on lifest yle-related diseases. Meanwhile\, there are significant health disparities : 1.5 million Dutch adults cannot afford to go to the dentist."\n\nOral he alth is a reflection of a person's overall health\, both physical and ment al. Oral health is often closely related to a person's socioeconomic statu s. Unfortunately\, people in vulnerable circumstances have less access to care and fewer opportunities to maintain a healthy lifestyle.\n\nThe SAM r esearch group is committed to reducing health inequalities in oral care by integrating it as a fully-fledged part of the care and welfare discipline s. By working together with citizens\, care clients\, and professional sta keholders: public care\, healthcare\, social care\, welfare\, education\, government\, and science. Good cooperation starts with a good conversation .\n\nIn her speech\, Monique shares her vision on collaborating on the pre vention of lifestyle-related diseases. The desired behavior for achieving or maintaining a healthy mouth overlaps significantly with the behavior de sired for the prevention of other lifestyle-related diseases. By working t ogether and making use of each other's knowledge and insights\, we can eff ectively reduce health and welfare risks. In this way\, we can jointly dev elop solutions that encourage healthy choices – at the individual level\ , within organizations\, and at the national level – for example\, among healthcare providers\, health insurers\, and municipalities.\n\nProgram: (more details in Dutch)\n\n1:00 p.m. – Reception\n1:30 p.m. – Symposiu m\n3:00 p.m. – Break\n3:30 p.m. – Lectureship speech and inauguration\ n4:30 p.m. – Festive snacks and drinks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nwo-metahealth.nl/documents/2025/09/1920 _moniquevdveen.jpg LOCATION:Inholland ACTA-building\, Gustav Mahlerlaan 3004\, 1081 LA\, Amste rdam\, 1081 LA\, Netherlands X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gustav Mahlerlaan 3004\, 10 81 LA\, Amsterdam\, 1081 LA\, Netherlands;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Inhol land ACTA-building:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Amsterdam X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Amsterdam BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20251026T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0200 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:CET END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
