TOGETHER WE CAN BUILD HEALTHIER & BRIGHTER SMILES

For years, parents and even some providers have brushed off the importance of baby teeth with the phrase, “They’re just going to fall out anyway.” But these small teeth play a big role in growth, development, airway, nutrition, and lifelong oral health. This engaging course explores why early oral health matters — from guiding facial growth and speech to supporting nutrition and confidence — and how dental professionals can better communicate this value to families.

Using evidence-based examples and real-life stories from pediatric practice, participants will learn how to integrate early prevention, functional assessment, and family communication strategies that truly help every child thrive.

Sport injuries are prevalent and require attention by the dental professional. Our profession is sometimes too busy dealing with improving our treatment results and too often abandons the preventive interventions that should be our main goal. Each and every patient should be engaged in a comprehensive and well-organized prevention program. Preventive measures can truly change our patients’ health and wellbeing. In this course, different levels of prevention will be discussed providing keys for advocacy for sport players as well as enhancing long term success of dental treatments. General, introductory, aspects of sport dentistry will be discussed as well.

This free continuing education course will teach the clinician how to administer an effective, and safe local anesthesia injection to a child or an adult.
