| Course Description: |
Mid-Atlantic Prevent Abuse and Neglect Through Dental Awareness is a continuing education
course designed to educate dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and others about the problems of
child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, elder abuse and neglect, and human trafficking. This course
aims to teach dental and other health care professionals to recognize the indicators of abuse and neglect
and inform them of their legal and ethical responsibilities in reporting and referring victims. Abuse and
neglect are an ever-increasing problem in today’s society. Dental professionals are frequently the
first health care professional to render treatment to a maltreated individual, yet make few reports. The
more education you receive, the more likely you are to recognize and report. Early recognition with timely
reporting and referrals to appropriate agencies can help prevent more significant health consequences and
even death in maltreated individuals. This course (session one and session two) satisfies the 2 hour
continuing education requirement on abuse and neglect as mandated by COMAR: Subtitle 44 BOARD OF
DENTAL EXAMINERS 10.44.22 Continuing Education Authority: Health Occupations Article,
§4-205,Annotated Code of Maryland.

| Course Description: |
All dental hygienists and dentists involved in providing prophylaxis have experienced,
“the bloody prophy”. In fact, across the country today bloody prophys are
being provided, and patients sent out the door with an appointment to provide this same
service again in six more months! Given compelling research that reveals a strong
mouth-body connection to overall health, clinicians should develop a zero tolerance for
providing ongoing bloody prophys. This course examines the reality surrounding making a
conversion from prophylaxis to therapeutic care for existing patients along with the
scientific, clinical and business rationale for doing so.
Participants will learn:
- How to distinguish between preventive and therapeutic treatment
- How the incidence of periodontal diseases should impact clinical services
- How biofilm infections becomes a ‘game changer’ for the patient’s care
- What to say to bloody prophy patients, scheduled for routine cleanings and how to treat their disease
- Why team continuity is vital to successful shifts in current procedures
- How healthier patients can lead to healthier profits
