Dr. Steffany Chamut, an instructor in oral health policy and epidemiology at the Harvard Dental School, talks about her work with a collaborative project between an interdisciplinary team of public health experts from Harvard and Mexico to jointly combat the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (including obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay) arising from increased consumption of sugary snacks and beverages in both countries. Originally from Mexico, Dr. Chamut believes an important factor is integrating oral health into early childhood education.
