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 3: Systemizing your Periodontal Protocol: Scheduling\, Coding\, Referring \nCreating a protocol that works in your practice takes a team approach. It requires a commitment to the greater vision of patient care\, with each member being able to identify their role in the patient’s successful treatment.

SUMMARY:The Soft Tissue Management Hygiene Series Part 2 of 3 – Pocket Decontamination: Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
DESCRIPTION:Tuition Cost: AIDA members: $9.99 per person per session\nGeneral Admission: $19.99 per person per session \nCE: 1.5 Lecture CE Credits per session\nCE Code: 490\nPrerequisites: Not required\, you may attend each session ala carte  Part 3 – October 21 \nCourse Description: \nLet’s face it\, it can be challenging to get the entire team calibrated\, especially when it comes to our periodontal protocols. 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 2: Pocket Decontamination: Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities October 7 \nRed complex bacteria are resistant to scaling and root planning alone. Therefore\, we must provide a comprehensive approach to the dangerous pathogens that have systemic effects on our patients. Often\, offices struggle to uphold the AAP recommendation to keep periodontal patients at a higher frequency of care. Patient compliance relies on them being able to experience a difference between their “regular cleanings” and periodontal therapy. Join me for this webinar as we discuss how to provide an evidence-based approach to soft tissue management both chairside and through homecare modalities. \nCourse Objectives Part 2: \n\nReview the biofilm burden and the systemic effects it has on the body\nDiscover how to differentiate the appointments from a prophy to a periodontal maintenance\nCompare chairside and homecare technologies to maximize clinical outcomes\nIdentify a road map of when and what to recommend based on the patient’s clinical case\n\nMeet the Instructors: Amber Auger RDH MPH \nAmber Auger is a practicing dental hygienist who specializes in detecting and treating dental dysbiosis conditions. With more than 17 years of experience in the dental industry\, she has a passion for guiding hygienists in enhancing their clinical confidence\, time and business management\, and whole-body\, patient-specific periodontal protocols. Amber is the 2019 Sunstar Award of Distinction recipient\, a contributor to “RDH Magazine”\, featured author for “DentistryIQ”\, editor of the “RDH Graduate” newsletter\, and the host of #AskAmberRDH. Amber is actively mentoring and educating fellow dental hygienists in their careers and in personal growth through Thrive in the Op® on-demand course curriculum and weekly live coaching sessions. Amber is also owner of the Functional RDH® certification that provides hands on and classroom lectures to identify the root cause of dental dysbiosis and ways in which to restore whole-body health based on the latest oral science.

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.
