Course Description:
As the profession of dental hygiene evolves, so does the technology that we employ. Discover how the assistance of a specific laser can provide the ultimate in client care and comfort, treatment outcome and become the “instrument of choice” to complement scaling and root planing.
An overview of ‘physics 101’ will be covered to assist in determining the most efficacious laser selection for various treatments. The integration of the laser into non-surgical periodontal therapy and specifically laser bacterial reduction will be supported by compelling evidence. An introduction to the latest, innovative and affordable soft tissue diode lasers for immediate integration into dental hygiene practice will be highlighted.
Learn the science, experience the laser and witness the opportunity that awaits to transform your practice today!
