Oral disease relates to our total health, or lack of health.

Let’s challenge the fact that the plaque and inflammation in the mouth may contribute to other systemic diseases.

Plaque and inflammatory markers in our mouth are also found in the arteries of our body.  These inflammatory markers are now showing up in patients with prostate cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, not only patients who have a heart attack, stroke and diabetes.

The future of dentistry will continue to promote total health, not disease; let’s explore how we can conquer this disease process.

Half-day course can be customized for 2.5 hours, 3 hours or 4 hours.

All-day course can be customized for 6 hours or 8 hours and includes break-out session.

• How to engage your medical community in preventing disease

Dental Professionals see it every day as they look in patients mouth. It’s red, it’s shiny and it is called blood.

Hygienists must complete a comprehensive periodontal exam annually and many of these patients will have bleeding upon probing.

What does a hygienist do when their patient presents with bleeding gums and inflammation but no radiographic bone loss?

How is this sequence of treatment different than your treatment plan for a periodontal patient?

During this course you will learn why moderate to severe gingival inflammation and bleeding gums are not a sign of health. We will discuss the latest treatment modalities for patients with oral inflammation and why you must have a plan to put a halt to inflammation.

Register for this course and join the tribe of dental professionals who are putting a halt to disease.

Find out what bloods got to do with it.

• Learn how oral health affects systemic health
• Learn the difference between the 4 stages of gingival health or disease and the sequence of treatment for each stage
• Learn the dental professionals role in disease prevention
