Often\, clinicians are left with performing a higher level of care than they bill out for due to the lack of clarify on the protocol\, lack of the verbal skills they need to tell a long-term “prophy” patient they are in a higher level of disease\, or not having the support from the business team to understand what needs to be submitted to insurance to enhance the patient’s coverage. This three-part series is designed to enhance the team approach to building a soft-tissue management program and will highlight the AAP classifications\, treatment modalities\, maintenance protocols\, risk assessment and management\, evidence-based practices\, and so much more. \nCourse Description Part 1: Transforming a Prophy Palace: Calibration for the Team September 16 \nA prophy palace is an office with less than 10% of patients in a periodontal program. This often happens when clinicians provide more than a prophy in their services but bill as a prophy. This prevents the patient from receiving the non-surgical treatment they need to prevent the progression of their disease. \nCourse Objectives Part 1: \n\nIdentify what a “super prophy is” and learn how to prevent them\nReview the AAP classifications on Periodontal Disease\nAccess the difference between the treatments based on the classification\nDiscover a one-hour appointment structure for the dental hygienist\nExplore verbiage that will increase patient urgency for treatment\n\n  \nMeet the Instructors: Amber Auger RDH MPH \nAmber Auger is a practicing dental hygienist who specializes in detecting and treating dental dysbiosis conditions.
