Advancing Your Patient Care: How Technology Can Help You Change the Way You See Your Patients

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Advances in dental hygiene are not just about fun new devices and techniques. Every good
practitioner is always looking for ways to help their patients achieve better outcomes. With ever-
increasing awareness of the oral-systemic link, we can also take the opportunity to use this technology
to increase our relevance in healthcare by providing more forward-thinking and effective patient care.
Join us for this class to learn about the use of microscopes and cone beam CT scanning tailored
especially to hygienists, and other exciting advances you need to know about.
