Course description: What is it? How do I use it? Today’s dental products and treatment options
Today’s dental sessions require an exhaustive knowledge of products, instruments, and equipment. Our profession has changed and grown to a new level, which offers us continuous challenges to recognize the new advances in technology and their use in dental hygiene. As professionals providing health services, we should be at the pulse of clinical devices and treatment, while being able to recommend product protocols for use in the office. The process of care (assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, implementation, and evaluation) requires us to understand what the products are, how to use the products, contemporary treatment options, how to implement the procedures and evaluate what is, and what is not working for us as individuals and as clinicians.

Course Description: It's all Connected: Oral Health & Whole Body Wellness
Oral care practice has changed significantly over the past decades, oral health professionals' roles in patients' overall health maintenance continue to grow in importance. Dental professionals have long been aware of some of the oral/systemic links but with the exponential growth of interest and information in this area, it can be extremely difficult to keep up with the latest literature, let alone to separate well-supported clinical evidence from unsupported hypotheses. This course will inform the entire dental team on these advances, as well as provide practical information about how these emerging evidence-based connections may affect your practices.
