Overview:
Topic One: E-Cigarettes, Vaping, JUULING E-Cigarettes and Vaping have become hot topics, making mainstream news in 2019 with thousands sick and over 50 deaths due to a new vaping related lung disease. Vaping has not only grown in popularity; the harmful chemicals and oral health effects have been a mystery since they arrived in this country in 2006. Motivating our patients to quit or avoid vaping continues to be a challenge for dental professionals as we are fighting misleading propaganda from E-Cigarette companies and pro-vaping ads. Fortunately, a push from the CDC and FDA has sparked new studies done at major universities that now shed light on the many risks of using vaping products. We will uncover the truth about the chemicals that are produced during vaping, and discuss the cancer-causing risks from breathing these vapors. We will unravel the mysteries of vaping and JUULing, the latest craze among adolescents. Finally, we will design protocol that will help us incorporate E-cigarette and vaping education into our practice.
Topic Two: The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has changed the way we look at cancer risk and detection and has made patient education a bit more complicated. Many health professionals report never discussing HPV with patients, and those who do often feel uncomfortable with the topic. However, today HPV is now the leading cause of oropharyngeal cancer, making this a crucial topic to discuss with our patients. In this course we will explore how to improve cancer detection in our dental practice. We will uncover ways to create protocol for patient education that can be customized to fit the culture of any practice. We will discover methods to encourage involvement of the entire dental team by providing the tools necessary for effective HPV communication.
At the conclusion of this course, attendees should be able to: 1. Identify the risk factors associated with HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer. 2. Discover the tools necessary for patient education and discussing HPV with our adult and adolescent patients. 3. Recognize the chemicals that are produced during the process of vaping, and the cancer risks of these chemicals. 4. Understand the current and future laws and regulations on e-cigarettes and discover the best places to find the latest clinical research to share with our patients. 5. Design a patient education plan for the dental practice that includes e-cigarettes, vaping both e-liquid and cannabis oil, JUULing, and hookahs.

Overview:
For the first time ever, we have five different generations working together in dental practice. We have all heard of Millennials, Baby Boomers, Gen Y, Gen X, Gen Z, and the Silent Generation, but what do these generational titles mean in our daily practice? How do these generational differences affect our teamwork, and how do they influence our patient’s decision making? We discuss how these generational differences drive our patient’s motivations and how it affects the decisions they make about dental treatment. We will uncover ways to better understand, influence, and communicate with our patients as well as fellow team members.
We also live in a diverse world where cultural differences impact the relevance of dental healthcare. We will explore the culture, gender, societal, and socioeconomic nuances that affect our ability to provide patient care. Finally, we will address ways to better understand diversity as it applies to our patient care and cover new protocol that can help us to provide better care to our diverse population of patients.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this course, attendees should be able to: Identify how the nuances of generational groups drive our patient’s motivations and decision making. Explore how understanding cultural differences will help us effectively communication with our diverse patients. Incorporate protocol by using new tools to prepare us for diversity (both patient and team).
