SUMMARY:HANDS-ON Data to Decisions: Saliva & Glucose-Guided Treatment Planning
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ms. Lora Hooper\, BSDH\, RDH\, EFDA \nStop treating symptoms. Start treating the source with the right product\, at the right time\, for the right patient.  \nMost clinicians can read a saliva report\, but far fewer know how to integrate that data with metabolic glucose insight to guide treatment decisions.  \nThis immersive\, participatory course bridges the gap between information and implementation. You will experience how saliva diagnostics and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) work together to uncover inflammatory drivers\, reduce relapse and protect long-term outcomes. You also will learn when to deploy antimicrobials versus probiotics\, how to match technologies and products to specific risk profiles\, and when to retest for measurable success. \nParticipants will receive a saliva test\, a glucose monitor\, and hands-on exposure to a variety of treatment protocols. \nRegister early so your saliva test can be completed and analyzed before the course\, allowing you to fully engage with the data and get the most out of the hands-on experience. \nCourse materials and equipment provided by BIOLASE\, Dexcom\, ImpetusDX\, ProBiora Health and SuperMouth \nObjectives: \n\nIntegrate saliva diagnostics and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data to identify inflammatory drivers and guide periodontal and implant treatment decisions.\nUtilize advanced clinical technologies and adjunctive therapies to reduce relapse and improve measurable long-term outcomes.\n\nThis isn’t a lecture. It’s clinical decision-making reimagined. \nMs. Lora Hooper earned her BS in Dental Hygiene and EFDA certification from The Ohio State University in 1995. She is President of the Integrative Dental Medicine Scholar Society and a Preceptor of the Bale Doneen Method. She completed the SSRP peptide program\, focusing on disease reversal at the cellular level.

SUMMARY:MDDS Presents: HANDS-ON Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Administration Training
DESCRIPTION:HANDS-ON Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Administration Training\nPresented by Dr. Jeffrey Young \nAnxiety and pain are two of the main obstacles to the acceptance of dental care.

Participants will then practice administration and monitoring using actual inhalation equipment. \nThis is a one-day course with approximately five (5) hours of classroom instruction followed by two (2) hours of clinical demonstration and practice. At the end of this course\, participants will clearly understand the indications for use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen and be able to provide safe administration and monitoring. \nObjectives \n\nDiscuss and understand the basic pharmacology and effects of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen.\nReview the anesthesia continuum and the Colorado Dental Board regulations regarding the administration and monitoring of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen in the dental office.\nKnow the goals of anxiolysis including the advantages and disadvantages of inhalation administration.\nDiscuss indications and contraindications for safe administration of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen.\nUnderstand how to monitor patients and recognize potential complications of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen.\nReview the inhalation equipment used for the administration of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen in dental offices.\nBecome proficient in the administration and monitoring of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen by practicing with inhalation equipment in a clinical setting.\n\nDr. Jeffrey Young earned his DDS from the University of Iowa and is a retired Army Colonel.
