There are those patients… those patients who lack oral hygiene and yet don’t develop dental caries; those patients who seem dedicated to oral hygiene and yet are plagued by saliva that seems downright caustic; and those patients for whom we would do anything to slow down recurrent decay, because… If dental caries continues to affect your patients despite your best efforts, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the advances in clinical cariology, especially as you care for those patients that make you wonder, how do I help THIS patient? 

The expanding landscape of the oral microbiome is redefining our understanding of oral health and disease. With the rapid increase in new therapeutics, it is possible to practice preventive rather than reparative dentistry – but what could go horribly wrong if we do?  Armed with new clinical guidelines based on recent systematic reviews, clinicians are choosing between the comfort of what they’ve always done and liquids that claim to stop and reverse dental caries. Risk assessments sound like the cornerstones of dental caries management, but there’s more to the stopping the most prevalent disease on the planet than filling out a form - and nobody gets healthier when more forms get filled out.  If you feel hindered by a questionnaire and a little behind the cariology curve, this webinar series will help get you “off the page” and into a deeper conversation that changes behavior and creates healthier patients.

Helping Those Patients: Kids 

Caries management in children is very different from treating the disease in an adult’s mouth.  For starters, you have TWO patients, and is either one of them listening?  While fluoride varnish may be the first thing you reach for, there is much more to reducing decay than slathering an electronegative anion and tree sap all over the teeth, after someone spent time cleaning them.

Helping Those Patients: The Special Ones 

The extreme caries risk patients may lurk in your practice hidden behind a paper caries risk assessment that claims they are LOW risk. Helping the spectrum of patients fight an invisible enemy of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, while they often cannot manage their own disease, creates some extreme patient cases. With limited time available for such extreme cases, how can you have the most impact with patients who need you the most.

Helping Those Patients: The Xerostomics 

Hyposalivation drives the oral dysbiosis that results in dental caries and periodontal disease.  The existing clinical practice guidelines recommend a high dose fluoride toothpaste, but there’s more to helping the dryest of patients than just more anions. From screening tests to stimulants to adjunctive therapies that leave the evidence far behind, this webinar should cause your patients to salivate.
