Treating oral and systemic diseases in today’s culture deserves our full attention, now more than ever. It’s time to uncover the root causes of disease and empower patients to truly understand their health risks.
The days of relying solely on visual exams and educated guesses are behind us. Thanks to exciting advances in evidence-based, chairside diagnostic testing, you can now easily and affordably assess what’s happening beneath the surface.
This course will show you how to incorporate simple, effective diagnostic tests into your everyday practice and you’ll wonder how you ever practiced without them. You will learn how to encourage health change behavior, advocate for your patient and create collaborative, co-referral relationships with other health care professionals.
Learning Objectives:
Identify and implement evidence-based, chairside diagnostic tests for detecting caries activity, periodontal pathogens, high-risk HPV strains and specific oral fungal infections
Interpret diagnostic test results to uncover underlying disease causes and assess systemic health risks, enhancing the quality and precision of patient care
Develop strategies to promote behavioral health changes for your patients and foster interdisciplinary collaboration through effective advocacy and co-referral relationships
