COURSE
DESCRIPTION: Gen Z: Choices and Challenges The current and
sometimes shocking health behaviors and trends in the teen generation can
influence their oral and systemic health. Dental professional have a
clinical opportunity to identify risky behaviors. Encouraging Gen Z to
make positive health decisions could impact their choices when challenged
Participants will engage in a lively discussion on timely topics relating
to Gen Z. Dialogue may include oral and overall health issues associated
with nutrition, obesity, eating disorders and substance abuse. Gen Z,

social media. This course identifies and addresses many of the platforms
that influence teen’s venturous decisions. Recognizing high risk
behaviors will prepare the dental professional to initiate dialogue that
may impact a teen for a lifetime
Designing
Healthy Smiles: Evaluate, Communicate, Formulate Over the last two
decades we have seen an evolution in the trends in dentistry. We have
progressed from simply treating dental disease to health promotion and
esthetic appeal. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry,
99.7% of Americans believe a smile is an important social asset.
Employing a complete assessment, which includes a smile evaluation, can promote
discussions about needed and/or wanted dentistry. In this course,
participants will briefly discuss new trends driving dentistry today and
will discover ways that provide optimalcare with lasting impressions.
Unlock the psychology of dentistry by recognizing patient avoidance
behaviors and learn to recognize your own barriers with patients. Enhance
your communication skills and learn how to effectively recommend esthetic
treatment, specific to whitening, for successful clinical outcomes.
Discover ways to grow your practice with proven marketing strategies.
