Description
Attend this program as a Live Interactive Webinar or Live at our School
2 CEUs – Good for the whole dental team!
Course Description:
There is so much that we are not formally taught about oral health. Some of these things affect our patients positively, some negatively. There is much more to avoiding tooth decay than brushing and flossing. This class will discuss the role that nutrition, blood chemistry, hormones and vitamins play. You will also learn new concepts such as teeth reflexology, leaky mouth, oral probiotics, remineralizing teeth, hydroxyapatite versus fluoride and much more. Some of these concepts are rarely discussed but they are not really new. Some date back centuries!
