SPRING CE EVENT IS NOW LIVE!
We are excited to have Amber Auger, MPH, RDH presenting TWO important courses that will benefit EVERY dental healthcare provider.
When your patients' medical histories include affirmative answers about diabetes or long COVID, are you and the entire clinical team prepared for the implications these two conditions could mean for your patients' health? How knowledgeable are you about these conditions? Do you and your clinical team know the best way to treat these patients and what oral health conditions these patients are at risk for? As dental health practitioners, we need to be well versed in our patients' systemic health and its connection to their oral health.
Join us on May 18th for a 2-hour CE doubleheader as Amber Auger takes us through both Long COVID and Diabetes - every clinician will learn information that can be applied to their clinical practice. Learn to recognize the symptoms, identify the systemic and oral health risks associated with these conditions, and learn how to reduce oral consequences .
