Patient Centered Care or Oral Risk Assessment

This course will empower the dental hygienist to provide effective therapeutic interventions for patients through use of oral risk assessment strategies. Oral risk and therapeutic interventions will be reviewed and discussed utilizing case studies. – Sandra Marcil, RDH, MS

Abusive Behaviors

This course will help dental professionals identify and respond to certain signs and symptoms occurring with abusive behaviors. – Christine Patel, RDH, BS

The Role of Pharmacology in Dental Practice

The role of pharmacology in daily dental practice presents multiple considerations for the dental team. Systematic conditions alone can become problematic for dental practitioners in helping patients to attain optimal dental health. For many compromised patients, medications can further compound these problems. – Barbara Hammaker, RDH, BASDH

Oral Pathology Review

This course will review various conditions that may lead to cancer in your patients. It is important for the practicing dental hygienist to be able to recognize such conditions in patients. Case studies will be utilized to facilitate discussion. – Tami Grzesikowski, RDH, MEd
