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. She currently collaborates with MDs to integrate oral-systemic considerations into comprehensive treatment planning\, including cardiac and metabolic care. \nConflict of Interest Disclosure: Ms. Hooper has financial or other interests of some nature in ProBiora Health and IDM Scholar Society.\n \nContinental breakfast and lunch will be provided on Day 1\, and continental breakfast will be provided on Day 2. \nDate: Friday\, May 8 – Saturday\, May 9\, 2026 \nTime:\nMay 8: 8:00am – 4:00pm (8:00am – 9:00am – Breakfast/Welcome\, 12:00pm one-hour lunch)\nMay 9: 8:00am – 12:00pm\n \nRate:\n$599    MDDS Member Dentist\n$399    MDDS Member Hygienist\n$699    MDDS Non-Member Dentist\n$499    MDDS Non-Member Hygienist \nLocation:\nMountain West Dental Institute\n925 Lincoln St\, Unit B\nDenver\, CO 80203 \nCE Credits: 10 \nFormat: Lecture/Hands-on \nSpeaker Conflict of Interest Disclosure: Non-Reported \nCancellation Deadline: May 1\, 2026 \nCancellation Policy\nCancellations will be accepted and are entitled to a refund provided they are received at MDDS by the cancellation deadline.

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. Appropriate administration and use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen can be a safe\, effective means to alleviate mild to moderate fear and anxiety. In addition\, it may diminish responses to pain and elevate pain threshold. \nThis course will provide an introduction to the pharmacology\, mechanism of action and effects of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen. The goals of anxiolysis\, including clinical applications\, indications\, advantages/disadvantages\, and biohazards of administration\, will be presented. The monitoring and recognition of potential complications will be discussed. \nA review of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen equipment and technique for safe administration will be presented\, followed by a demonstration of the administration and use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen inhalation equipment in a dental clinic setting. 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.

SUMMARY:2026 Colorado Mission of Mercy
DESCRIPTION:The Colorado Mission of Mercy (COMOM) is a large-scale dental clinic that is held annually in a Colorado community. \nThe concept is simple: Create a two-day dental clinic in a large facility and open the clinic doors to the community. Dental services are provided to any person on a “no questions asked” basis. Patients are evaluated and treated based on their most urgent dental needs. Patients undergo dental treatments such as cleanings\, fillings\, root canals\, and extractions. The best part about COMOM is that this quality treatment is provided at no cost to patients. \nDate: Septetmber 25 – 26\, 2-26 \nLocation: Cripple Creek\, CO
