“My students work with the families, educating them on healthy foods and snacks and the frequency of their meal patterns,” explains registered dietitian Lisa Sasson, MS, RD, dietetic internship director and clinical associate professor of nutrition and food studies at New York University, where students take part in an oral health rotation in the dental school’s pediatric program. “They create meal plans that are healthy, practical, culturally appropriate and also make sense in terms of oral health,” says Sasson.
