SUMMARY:Beyond Parkinson's: Practical Strategies for Treating Patients with Neurological\, Sensory and Anxiety-Related Challenges (6 CEU)
DESCRIPTION:Providing quality dental care for patients with neurological disorders\, developmental disabilities\, sensory sensitivities\, and anxiety can be one of the most rewarding—and challenging—aspects of clinical practice. This comprehensive continuing education program brings together the expertise of a neurologist and an experienced practicing dentist to provide attendees with both the medical foundation and practical clinical strategies needed to confidently care for these unique patient populations. \nDr. Jon Snider will begin the program with an in-depth overview of Parkinson’s disease\, including its underlying pathophysiology\, movement and non-movement symptoms\, and the oral health implications dental professionals encounter in practice. He will discuss how neurological changes affect dental treatment planning and patient management while providing a greater understanding of this progressive disease. \nBuilding on this medical foundation\, Dr. Jacob Dent will present practical\, real-world techniques for treating patients with Parkinson’s disease\, autism spectrum disorder\, sensory processing challenges\, intellectual and developmental disabilities\, and dental anxiety. Through engaging case examples and immediately applicable clinical strategies\, attendees will learn how to better understand patient behaviors\, reduce barriers to care\, and create positive treatment experiences for patients with special healthcare needs. \nTogether\, these presentations provide a unique opportunity to bridge medical knowledge with clinical application\, giving the entire dental team greater confidence in treating patients with neurological\, sensory\, and anxiety-related challenges. \nCourse Objectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the pathophysiology and progression of Parkinson’s disease.\nRecognize the movement and non-movement manifestations of Parkinson’s disease and their impact on oral health.\nIdentify common oral and dental complications associated with Parkinson’s disease and implement appropriate management strategies.\nDefine a variety of special healthcare needs and recognize their common characteristics.\nUnderstand the behaviors\, communication styles\, and dental considerations associated with developmental disabilities\, sensory disorders\, and anxiety-related conditions.\nSelect appropriate treatment approaches based on each patient’s individual abilities\, medical condition\, and level of support needs.\nApply practical techniques to improve patient cooperation\, reduce anxiety\, and enhance the delivery of compassionate\, patient-centered dental care.\nIncrease confidence in treating patients with neurological\, sensory\, and special healthcare needs in the general dental practice.Purchase Your Tickets Here!

SUMMARY:WEED WILL…WEED WILL…ROCK YOU! The Fall and Rise of Cannabis\, Cannabinoids and Terpenes and Their Dental Considerations (2 CEU)
DESCRIPTION:2 CE Units \nWEED WILL…WEED WILL…ROCK YOU! \nThe Fall and Rise of Cannabis\, Cannabinoids and Terpenes and Their Dental Considerations \n  \nHow Much Do We Know About Cannabis? \n  \nThe DEA considers cannabis to have no accepted medical use. Therefore\, it is illegal to possess. Yet almost every state has enacted legislation aimed at legalizing or decriminalizing cannabis for medical or recreational use. Despite this rise in social and legal acceptance\, public health concerns regarding the use of cannabis remain\, especially among dental professionals since the major routes of administration of cannabis involves the oral cavity. \n  \nThis program will introduce dental professionals to the pharmacology of cannabis\, including its various dosage forms\, routes of administration and adverse reactions. Special emphasis will be placed on the effects of cannabis use on oral health and dental treatment\, as well as the proposed use of cannabis in dentistry for the management of patient anxiety and odontogenic pain. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscuss the history and various types of cannabis\, as well as its current legal status\nDescribe the pharmacology of cannabis\, including its mechanism of action\, routes of administration\, available formulations and proposed uses in dentistry\nExplain the clinical considerations of cannabis use\, including adverse reactions\, drug interactions\, contraindications and effects on major organ systems\nExplore the dental considerations of cannabis\, including potential treatment modifications\, and strategies for patient care planning\n\n  \nBio: \nWith over 30 years of experience as a board-certified pharmacist\, clinical educator\, professional speaker and published author\, Tom Viola\, R.Ph.\, C.C.P. has earned his national and international reputation as the go-to specialist for making pharmacology practical and useful for all members of the dental team. \n  \nAs the founder of Pharmacology Declassified\, Tom provides valuable insight into the complex interplay between pharmacology and physiology so that clinicians may be knowledgeable about the dental considerations of general medicine and the medical considerations of general dentistry. \n  \nAs an educator\, Tom is a member of the faculty of over 10 dental professional degree programs and has received several awards for outstanding teacher of the year. \n  \nAs an author\, Tom is well known for his contributions to several professional journals and pharmacology textbooks and currently serves as a consultant to the American Dental Association’s Council on Scientific Affairs. \n  \nAs a speaker\, Tom has been recognized by many industry organizations and associations as a leader in continuing dental education and has presented over 1000 informative and engaging seminars and webinars to dental professionals since 2001. \nPurchase Your Tickets Here!
