Vision, Mindset, and Grit

Whatever belief system you employ must be powerful enough to conquer these obstacles and any other impediments to your personal and professional growth, or you will be left behind. As audiences worldwide have discovered, Scott Burrows’ compelling story is the hero’s journey. Scott reveals how to drive results using the same mental focus that helped him reinvent his life to find success and help drive yours.

"The HPV Epidemic" (1) CE Credit

It is essential for all dental caregivers to be aware of this current epidemic and its treatment-related side-effects. Treatment usually has a radiation component whose side-effects last a lifetime. This course will outline treatment-related side-effects and their management.

"Nutrition and Oral Health: What Every Dental Professional Should Know"
(1) CE Credit
(Session FULL)

Good nutrition is integral to overall health. The mouth is the window to the body, what we eat affects general health, but also directly impacts oral health. The first signs of a nutritional deficiency often appear in the oral cavity. Patients who consume too many calories, fermentable carbohydrates, non-nutritious snacks, and sugary sweetened drinks are at risk for developing tooth decay, periodontal disease, and various systemic diseases. To that end, it is essential that dental professionals possess basic knowledge about nutrition, the physiological processes that occur in the body after food is consumed, and the effects of nutrition on the body and oral cavity. This information will position the dental professional to provide a thorough nutritional assessment to their patients.
