Fundamentals of Pediatric Dentistry: Behavior Management Techniques
Member Price: $189.00
CE Credit(s): 3
Retail Price: $249.00
Course Created on: 08/29/2023
/education/ViewCourse.aspx?id=771|114894
Description:

Overview
Pediatric dentistry is unique as it requires dentists to effectively communicate with both children and parents while managing their behaviors. In this course principles of behavior management are discussed and demonstrated through videos showcasing patients' treatment and how to handle them. While dentistry typically focuses on technical aspects of the work, in pediatric dentistry, success hinges on the proper handling of patients. Contrary to popular belief, parents play a vital role in the entertainment and promotion of the program, rather than being viewed as a "problem."

Why does this matter?
The demand for pediatric dental care continues to grow. Being a capable provider for young patients is an excellent way to build a new practice or expand an existing one. When parents see that you can manage their children effectively, they may choose to become patients themselves. Beyond this obvious reality, there is also the tremendous satisfaction in being able to introduce children into the world of dentistry in a positive way. This not only brings gratitude into your life but also sets the stage for a lifetime of oral health for the children, free from the fears that many adults harbor. The restorative procedures, while quite simple technically, are crucial to understand and master to deliver the treatment that is needed while also caring for the child. These are two separate activities that are occurring simultaneously.

Learning objectives
• Incorporate appropriate terminology into pediatric appointments
• I Convert "problem parents" into your best promotional assets
• I Discover why specific positive feedback works well
• I Build your practice through effective child management
• I Create a schedule that will optimize success with young patients

American Dental Association on-demand webinar
This webinar was recorded in June 2023 

Statistics show that patients will routinely visit their primary dental provider more frequently than their primary medical provider. Routine wellness exams with a dental hygienist are the perfect opportunity to educate patients on the importance of oral health as it relates to systemic health and provide meaningful screening tools that assist in identifying markers of disease and disease risk. Carotid ultrasound scans are easily performed by a dental hygienist, take minimal chair time, and can provide information that may just save a life. This presentation from the ADA’s Council on Advocacy for Access and Prevention (CAAP) discusses how dental and medical practices can utilize carotid ultrasound to collaborate in identifying and treating vascular disease sooner with better outcomes.

Learning objectives
• The role of carotid ultrasound in identifying early signs of cardiovascular disease
• How carotid ultrasound can be implemented into routine hygiene appointments within a dental practice
• How the dentist and physician can collaborate to encourage cardiovascular prevention and emphasize the oral-systemic connection

Course Created on: 05/01/2023

Description:

Dental professionals must frequently draw upon their knowledge of pharmacology for optimal care of today’s medically complex dental patients.

This program will provide an overview of the dental implications of the prescription medications, non-prescription medications, herbal products, nutritional supplements and substances of abuse most frequently used by patients. Special emphasis will be given to delivering this essential information in a format which makes it practical and useful for all members of the dental team.

Learning objectives

• Identify the prescription medications most frequently encountered on a patient’s medical history and discuss their indications for use, adverse reactions and impact on dental therapy.
• Discuss the non-prescription medications most often used by dental patients and explain their impact on dental therapy, including situations which preclude their use.
• Identify the most popular herbal products and nutritional supplements and discuss their purported uses and dental considerations.
• Identify the most common substances of abuse and describe their oral manifestations and dental treatment considerations.
