DentalCon RDH Summit | Southern Utah's Ultimate Continuing Education for Dental Professionals

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.
