Small Changes = Big Impact

This course is geared toward novice and expert dental hygienists alike, as we can learn small changes that make a big impact from each other. This course will prepare practicing hygienists to implement the "new" AAP classifications into their practice when they return to the office. The course will review small changes you can make in ergonomics and instrumentation that will help you treat periodontal diseases more effectively. The participant will be introduced to, or reminded of different instruments and techniques that will improve calculus removal. This course is an opportunity for hygienists to get back to the basics and improve their expertise through shared experience.

The explosion of new scientific evidence regarding infection, inflammation, and the role it plays in a patient’s over-all health has created expanded opportunities for dentistry to rethink and improve the treatment we offer our patient’s. The diode laser is a tremendous asset for the Dental Hygienist to jump-start change in the eyes of the patients. Addressing disinfection with a laser enables hygienists to adopt a different approach regarding the patients’ newfound concerns about bacteria and viruses. It is the healing benefit of lasers through disinfection, reduction of inflammation, and the elimination of bleeding that speaks to the true value of laser implementation. Join in as we increase patient periodontal treatment acceptance by communicating the therapeutic value of laser assisted hygiene in support of their overall health.
