Course Description
This interactive program will focus on connecting dental hygienists and assistants to strengthen working relationships and elevate the patient experience. Implant maintenance should be a part of the treatment plan. Begin educating your patients at the consultation, not after the treatment is done. Patients need to know how dental implants differ from their natural dentition and why they need more attention. This explanation can pave the way to ensuring they set up and keep regular cleaning appointments and practice great homecare. By establishing this protocol, you can provide your patients with the tools needed to hopefully avoid complications in the future.
