Heartbeats and BOP: An Oral-Systemic Preventive Approach to Cardiovascular Disease
the heart of the matter
Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States suffers a heart attack. As part of our standard of care, blood pressure measurements should be taken at every routine appointment. Up to 50% of heart attacks and strokes are triggered by oral pathogens. The dental professional plays a vital role in the screening, prevention, and management of heart disease.

Guts, Gums & Glucose: The Missing Link for Optimal Health
Guts, Gums & Glucose: The Missing Link for Optimal Health
It is estimated that over 80 percent of Americans are experiencing insulin resistance. One can have insulin resistance for up to 20 years before being pre-diabetic. Insulin resistance impacts every organ and body and is crucial to acute and chronic disease prevention. This course is designed to equip the dental professional to take a more comprehensive look at the root cause of oral and systemic inflammation. The clinician will obtain practical information for chairside implementation.

It’s Not You. It’s Your Saliva.
It’s Not You. It’s Your Saliva.
It can be highly discouraging when patients continue to have cavities despite improvements in their oral health. This can disrupt their oral health philosophy and create the belief that “cavities are normal for me” or even “I just have soft teeth.” Dental hygienists have the unique opportunity to identify each patient’s specific risks and provide treatment recommendations accordingly. The best way to do this is through salivary pH testing, specifically because the pH of our patient’s saliva plays a vital role in their oral cavity’s hard and soft tissue health status.

What Lies Beneath: Treating Periodontal Disease Systemically
What Lies Beneath: Treating Periodontal Disease Systemically
Over the last ten years, there has been an increased focus on oral and systemic health links. This course is designed to equip dental hygienists with the skills to implement a comprehensive approach to treating our patients while they are chairside. This course will review risk assessments and clinical cases to provide a practical approach to implementing science-based literature that is both effective and feasible for the current demands in practices.

Donuts, Diabetes, and Dentistry: The Vital Role of Dental Professionals
34.2 million Americans have Diabetes, another 88 million Americans are considered prediabetic, and 3 out of 5 don’t know. Glucose is a primary precursor for energy in the body and needs to be tightly regulated for metabolism to work effectively. Metabolic health can be improved by consistently making choices that keep glucose levels in a stable and healthy range and minimize large glucose swings. As a country, our metabolic health is poor with 88% of the American population displaying at least some metabolic dysfunction.

The Dental Hygiene Detective: Advance Risk Assessments
The Dental Hygiene Detective: Advance Risk Assessments
There are many clues that provide evidence of oral disease such as occlusal wear, recession, bleeding, fissured tongues, erythematic tissues, incipient lesions, and many more. Determining our patient’s high-risk factors for oral disease and systemic health is multifactorial, and our role as dental professionals allows us to evaluate and identify the first signs of disease. This program will help you and your team review patient risk factors in depth while empowering the clinician to compare clinical technologies that alight with the patient’s lifestyle to reduce disease.
Recommended for all team members
