FROM OLD TO NEW IN DENTISTRY-THERE IS MORE THAN A BRUSH/FLOSS APPROACH TO ORAL HEALTH

Course overview

There is so much that we are not formally taught about oral health. Some of these things affect our patients positively, some negatively. There is much more to avoiding tooth decay than brushing and flossing. This class will discuss the role that nutrition, blood chemistry, hormones and vitamins play. You will also learn new concepts such as teeth reflexology, leaky mouth, oral probiotics, re-mineralizing teeth, hydroxyapatite versus fluoride and much more. Some of these concepts are rarely discussed but they are not really new. Some date back centuries! Course Dates: 8/19/2026 7p-9p | 10/29/2026 7p-9p | 12/09/2026 7p-9p
