Armed only with a summary of past and current disease states and a list of current medications\, will you be able to decipher the clues\, solve the mystery and employ innovative treatment strategies to save the day? This program will provide practical tools every dental professional can use every day to assist them in interpreting the information about medications\, supplements and substances of abuse contained in a patient’s medical history and understanding their impact on dental treatment planning and patient care. \nCourse Objectives: \n\nDiscuss the medications\, supplements and substances of abuse most frequently encountered on a patient’s medical history and their impact on dental therapy.\nDescribe medication-induced and systemic illness-induced xerostomia and specific clinical technologies dental professionals may employ to combat its negative effects.\nExplore innovative treatment options available with injectable and topical anesthetics for managing pain in medically complex patients.\nIdentify the clinical signs and symptoms of undiagnosed systemic illness which may be present during routine oral examination.\n\nMeet the Instructors: Thomas A.

SUMMARY:The Soft Tissue Management Hygiene Series Part 1 of 3 - Transforming a Prophy Palace: Calibration for the Team
DESCRIPTION:Tuition Cost: AIDA members: $9.99 per person per session\nGeneral Admission: $19.99 per person per session \nCE: 1.5 Lecture CE Credits per session\nCE Code: 490\nPrerequisites: Not required\, you may attend each session ala carte Part 2 – October 7 and Part 3 – October 21 \nCourse Description: \nLet’s face it\, it can be challenging to get the entire team calibrated\, especially when it comes to our periodontal protocols. Often\, clinicians are left with performing a higher level of care than they bill out for due to the lack of clarify on the protocol\, lack of the verbal skills they need to tell a long-term “prophy” patient they are in a higher level of disease\, or not having the support from the business team to understand what needs to be submitted to insurance to enhance the patient’s coverage. This three-part series is designed to enhance the team approach to building a soft-tissue management program and will highlight the AAP classifications\, treatment modalities\, maintenance protocols\, risk assessment and management\, evidence-based practices\, and so much more. \nCourse Description Part 1: Transforming a Prophy Palace: Calibration for the Team September 16 \nA prophy palace is an office with less than 10% of patients in a periodontal program. This often happens when clinicians provide more than a prophy in their services but bill as a prophy. This prevents the patient from receiving the non-surgical treatment they need to prevent the progression of their disease.  \nCourse Objectives Part 1: \n\nIdentify what a “super prophy is” and learn how to prevent them\nReview the AAP classifications on Periodontal Disease\nAccess the difference between the treatments based on the classification \nDiscover a one-hour appointment structure for the dental hygienist \nExplore verbiage that will increase patient urgency for treatment\n\n  \nMeet the Instructors: Amber Auger RDH MPH \nAmber Auger is a practicing dental hygienist who specializes in detecting and treating dental dysbiosis conditions. With more than 17 years of experience in the dental industry\, she has a passion for guiding hygienists in enhancing their clinical confidence\, time and business management\, and whole-body\, patient-specific periodontal protocols. Amber is the 2019 Sunstar Award of Distinction recipient\, a contributor to “RDH Magazine”\, featured author for “DentistryIQ”\, editor of the “RDH Graduate” newsletter\, and the host of #AskAmberRDH. Amber is actively mentoring and educating fellow dental hygienists in their careers and in personal growth through Thrive in the Op® on-demand course curriculum and weekly live coaching sessions. Amber is also owner of the Functional RDH® certification that provides hands on and classroom lectures to identify the root cause of dental dysbiosis and ways in which to restore whole-body health based on the latest oral science. \n \n
