Join your northern Arizona colleagues for this topical CE event and get up to speed on the dental therapist fight.

Addiction affects 10‐20% of the population without prejudice to race, sex, income or age. This course will help explore the current trends in illicit drug use. A significant percentage of patients in our practices (and our lives) may be abusing illicit drugs. Strategies will be discussed to help identify, manage difficult conversations and treat this demographic.

 

  • Current trends in illicit drug use/abuse.
  • Identify patients in your practices that may have a problem.
  • Discuss dental strategies for this patient population.
