Course I: Interproximal Health (3 CEU)
By Laurie Milling, RDH, BS
Research is constantly evolving to help us understand the complex implications that oral biofilm has on oral and systemic health. Dental plaque biofilm is associated with inflammation and disease both locally and systemically, and as clinicians, we should strive to help patients control oral biofilm for optimal health.
Learn what role you play at assessing the interproximal health criteria and the appropriate recommendations you can make to improve the interdental health of your patients.
Course II: Managing Pain…One Step at a Time (3 CEU)
By Dawn E. Kasper, RDH
Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience from actual or potential tissue damage. There are many different factors that can cause dental or orofacial pain. Pain management involves psychological, emotional, cognitive and social dimensions. Effective pain relief should result in improved and effective functional activity. A good pain management program should involve behavior modification, the adult learning process, and effectively initiating patients to make positive changes in their oral health.
Learn how to define and understand the various types of pain and then discuss the process involved in helping your patients manage their pain with a good pain management program.
