with Wendy Hughes and Peggy Blackburn
Discover the interactive and expanding role the dental hygienist can play in the modern LVI practice. Your hygienist will be shown how to "treat to health" in a manageable time frame, and find increasing satisfaction with predictable case acceptance for more than the periodontal issues. There is also a strong emphasis on team participation, and the role hygiene plays in reaching the overall practice goals. This in-office experience is the "missing link" for many LVI style practices.
The objectives of this course are for the participant to:
- Identify Oral Systemic Links - the science and application
- Understand risk assessment and its role in treatment planning
- Explore case management
- Recognize time considerations for treating to health
- Develop restorative recommendations and knowledge of materials
- Utilize chair-side recommendations to introduce occlusal signs and symptoms
- Understand simple secrets to being an effective communicator and unlocking your patient's needs and wants
