Course Description: As humans are living longer than ever before, changes in the brain are becoming more prevalent among elders. A few decades ago, these changes led to a diagnosis of senility and a life confined to a “county home” for most. Today brain changes are better understood than in the past and society is learning to work with individuals who are living with a diagnosis of some type of dementia. This trend has dental professionals caring for patients they may not be prepared to serve. This presentation will walk attendees through numerous aspects of care regarding patients with dementia in the hopes of having the best appointment outcomes.

Course Objectives: Upon completion of this course attendees will

  • Know the magnitude of dementia diagnosis in the population

  • Describe the different types of dementia

  • Understand ways to make the dental office dementia-friendly

  • List communication modifications that lead to better appointment outcomes

  • Share dementia-friendly information with dental team members
