Enhance patient satisfaction and increase revenue by utilizing the full potential of your dental team. This course will guide you in adopting minimally invasive procedures that ensure exceptional care for your most challenging pediatric, special needs, medically compromised, and fearful patients, while also streamlining your practice's workflow and efficiency.
Modern advancements in dental care have made treating caries less invasive, time-consuming, and uncomfortable. Innovative products such as silver diamine fluoride (SDF), fluoride varnishes, glass ionomer cement (GIC), sealants, and Curodont™ Repair offer effective alternatives to traditional methods. These techniques can reduce the need for anesthetics and drilling, thereby minimizing patient anxiety and the risk of medical complications. Given a choice, most patients prefer these gentle, yet highly effective, minimally invasive procedures over conventional treatments.
In this course, you will discover a range of minimally invasive products that are not only safe and painless but also highly effective and efficient. Learn how to integrate these treatments into your daily practice to provide outstanding care, even for your most at-risk and challenging patients.

Is it time to ‘toss the floss’? You be the judge!
In the rapidly evolving field of dental hygiene, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can transform how clinicians assess and manage patient care. "AI-Driven Prevention: Enhancing Dental Hygiene Practice with Artificial Intelligence" is designed for practicing dental hygienists who are eager to explore the cutting-edge applications of AI in their practice, particularly in disease prevention.
