Course Description

1 Hour Course

Do you ever wonder why 47.2% of adults aged 30 years and older have some form of periodontal disease even if they come to see us every 3 to 6 months? It is time to change our philosophy from disease control to a wellness and prevention approach. Join Kerry and learn a framework to lead your patients to accept treatment and comply with your recommendations. She will review treatment strategies and technology that will help move your patients from active infection into remission or health in a few weeks. We must change our focus from hard deposit removal to understanding our patient’s biofilm risk.

Course Outcomes and Learning Objectives:

  • Learn assessment tools you can use to help locate and monitor periodontal and caries disease.
  • Review biofilm control techniques for use in the office and at home.
  • Explore innovative treatment strategies to move your patients from active infection into remission.
  • Learn the observed benefits of hydrogen peroxide whitening
