“Brushing The Ones, You Want To Keep” Educating The Aging Population About Their Need for Improving Oral Health Care.
COURSE DESCRIPTON:

For some dental staff, these patients are a joy and others a challenge to treat. “Senior patients” have a different outlook regarding dentistry than their parents. This expanding group do not believe they have to lose their teeth to the aging process. Many have the financial means to invest in their dental treatment but need to be educated in the advantages of different treatment available to them. In addition, the dentist and their staff need to navigate through a series of medical conditions, medication therapies and personal needs of this senior demographic to assure their best possible dental care.
