What if preventative care was viewed as a calibrated system that elevated team performance and drove measurable growth? This CE webinar explores how dental teams can use structured prevention tools to align around a shared standard of care, improve patient outcomes, and track the business impact of their hygiene department. Attendees will examine how self-assessments, risk evaluations, and communication tools create consistency across providers, leading to stronger documentation, better case acceptance, and elevated KPIs. The CE webinar will also touch on the impact of prevention on key performance indicators (KPIs), including hygiene production, case acceptance, and patient retention. Whether you’re a hygienist, practice owner, or clinical lead, this course will provide practical strategies to turn prevention into profitability—rooted in individualized patient care. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to strengthen their role as a prevention specialist by enhancing their skills in early risk-identification, communicating findings effectively, and incorporating streamlined tools while boosting clinical efficiency.

The most used materials in today’s general practice are burs, bonding agents, and composites for direct restorations. The evolution of this group of materials, in particular, is amazing. Today’s light cure resins are light years ahead of the materials that we thought were great 20 years ago. The evolution of materials includes base or lining materials when the proximity to the pulp requires some form of pulpal protection. Calcium has been proven to be a critical adjunct to the armamentarium of all general dentists performing routine decay excavation and tooth restoration. This CE webinar is designed for the busy dentist who wants to stay current with the available materials and concepts of efficient placement of tooth-colored restorations. We will discuss what matters most in pulpal protection material selection, depending upon location and occlusal load put on the restoration. Reduction and elimination of post-operative sensitivity will be addressed.

So how do we elevate our practice and what does elevating our practice do for our career, business and patients. It actually does quite a lot. For one, it helps with employee retention. A recent poll showed that the number one reason why a dental hygienist leaves a dental practice is because the practice is not innovative, it's doing the same ol same ol and they feel they are stuck in a rut, not learning anything new. nor are they trying new techniques and products. Also part of our episode today is talking about incorporating diagnostics into our practice. Instead of rushing through the medical history and moving right to our scaling, root planing and prophies, we should dedicate time to diagnostic testing, getting to the root cause of the problem. As our guest Amanda Hill will explain, diagnostic testing is a game-changer for the practice and not only builds trust between the practice and the patient, but also drives revenue to a whole new level.
