INTRODUCTION

AGENDA

8:00 – 8:15 Opening remarks

8:15 – 12:00: MORE Things You Didn’t Learn in Dental Hygiene School: Cardiovascular health, calcium and osteoporosis, vitamins and supplements, OTC pain medications – James Lichon rPh, DDS, nCCM

According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the united States, killing 292,188 women in 2009—that’s 1 in every 4 female deaths. Often, heart disease is thought of as a “man’s disease,” yet approximately the same number of women and men die each year of heart disease in the united States. (CDC.gov.) in spite of impressive technologic advances in the field of medicine, heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the united States. in our dental offices we are seeing more and more patients with heart disease. Greater than 1 in 3 of our adult patients have one or more types of heart disease and it is the most common medical condition that dental professionals confront.Dr. Lichon returns with updated information regarding coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and stroke with a concentration on women. Also discussed, how calcium relates to osteoporosis, vitamins, supplements and OtC pain medications as related to dentistry.End of Morning Session

AFTERNOON SESSION

1:30 – 2:45: The Role of the Dental Hygienist in HPV Cancers Prevention – eileen Duffey Lind MS, rn, CPnP and Katie-rose Wagner DDS

“According to the CDC over 20,000 women and 12,000 men are diagnosed with HPV related cancers each year, with cervical cancer the majority in women and oropharyngeal cancer the majority in men.(CDC 2014) HPV vaccination rates among young women thus far have been relatively low in comparison to other vaccines, and rates among young men are even lower. the vaccine has been shown to be highly effective in preventing HPV infection, therefore it is imperative to increase vaccination rates among youth in the u.S. With the link between HPV and cancer becoming very clear and the rate of HPV infection increasing, dental hygienists are vital components of the health care team that will help confront this significant public health issue. Diligence in HPV education and oral cancer screening can save lives.”

At the end of the session, the participant will be able to: Describe the burden of HPV disease. identify the relationship between HPV and HPV related cancers. Describe the safety and effectiveness and the importance of HPV vaccination for cancer prevention. explain the rationale for vaccinating youth at ages 11 or 12 and develop skills to effectively discuss HPV vaccination with parents of dental patients. Locate resources relevant to current immunization practice.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

the delivery of quality dental care is the primary goal of dental practitioners. equally important is the management of the patients’ anxiety and discomfort during these procedures. the accumulation of the daily physical mental, and emotional stress associated with the delivery of dental care has a negative impact on the operator. the accumulation of neuromuscular tension due to the physical operating positions (head down, arms forward) and the repetitive and fine motor movements can lead to chronic pain and dysfunction. the first part of this course is an interactive lecture and participants will learn yoga stretches and techniques they can use in the dental operatory. the second part of the program is “on the mat” and the participants will practice yoga postures designed to release the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal tension that accumulates in the body over a typical workday in a dental office.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

• the participant will learn to identify improper breathing patterns which exacerbate the stress response, and will learn abdominal (diaphragmatic) breathing which will enlist the relaxation response • the participant will learn to recognize, identify, and utilize acupressure points in the hand that will help to alleviate discomfort in the head, including dental discomfort. • the participant will learn to recognize, identify, and utilize acupressure points on the sternum to help relieve anxiety of dental patients, as well as learn to recognize, identify, and utilize acupressure points on the face and head to relieve tension in the face and in the temporomandibular joint.

• the participant will learn simple yoga stretches that can be performed in the treatment room. these stretches will help alleviate and release the neuromuscular and mental tension that accumulates daily in the delivery of dental care to our patients • the participant will learn yoga postures and techniques designed to alleviate and release the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal tensions that accumulate in the body during a typical workday in the dental office. Special attention will be given to releasing tension in the the neck, shoulders, and low back

A Complete Guide to Treating Dental Patients

with Food Allergy & Gluten Intolerance

3 CeusSaturday, Sept. 24th

1:30pm - 4:30pm

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Food allergy and gluten sensitivity are growing health concerns in the united States. researchers estimate that approximately 15 million Americans have food allergies, with many at risk for life-threatening anaphylaxis. in addition, 3 million Americans have Celiac Disease and 18 million Americans have gluten sensitivities. therefore, dental practitioners will be seeing patients with these disorders in their practice on a more routine basis than ever before. the need for dental hygienists to better understand these patients and their unique needs has never been greater. this course aims to teach the impact food allergy and gluten intolerance has on oral and overall health. this lecture includes a review of risk factors for developing food allergy, latex allergy and other food-related intolerances. Dental health care professionals will gain an understanding of the pathophysiology of the immune system and current rise in prevalence of food allergy, lactose intolerance and gluten sensitivity. An in-depth look at cross contact and cross reactivity situations that occur in the dental office will be discussed and evaluated. Guidelines will be provided on how to easily and safely treat these challenging dental patients, while positively impacting their health and well-being.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

• Develop a preventive plan based on the interconnections between diet, food allergens and dental practice. • Delineate challenges faced while providing dental care to patients with food allergies and intolerances.

• Develop strategies and treatment options to help food allergy patients avoid accidental reactions in the dental office. • List appropriate dental materials that do not contain common food allergens, casein and/or gluten.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

According to research from the university of iowa, ‘by 2020 the sheer-volume of medical knowledge will double every 73 days.’ treating our patients as a whole versus focusing on a singular diagnosis represents the future of healthcare delivery. Communication among professionals provides a richness of knowledge that creates a “dream team” for our patients. Collaborative efforts to obtain, share, and process information contributes to consistent patient centered care. this course is designed to promote intra-offi ce and inter-offi ce communication to cultivate partnerships throughout all aspects of healthcare. An introduction and review of practice guidelines, customized referrals, and documentation will be explored.

refl ection upon past “game changers” in dentistry allows us to look forward and recognize future inter-disciplinary opportunities in healthcare. Participants will engage in a lively discussion on topics related to: elevating communication skills, standardizing offi ce protocols and tailoring documentation.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

• identify current optimal care practices and expand upon opportunities • review medical emergency protocols • Distinguish between inter-offi ce communication and intra-offi ce communication

• Learn to apply new protocols for: collaboration, referrals, guidelines, and documentation • implement suggestions for seamless communication that will enrich your team environment • identify prospective inter-disciplinary opportunities Lee Somerville, RDH, MS, graduated from the dental hygiene program at Cape Cod Community College with an AS degree and from northeastern university with a bachelor of Science Degree in Health Science.
