Dentists are challenged to differentiate themselves in the marketplace and to attract quality new patients. Meanwhile, a growing consumer base seeks out wellness and eco-friendly businesses, but struggle to find dental offices that share their values. While the typical dental office contributes significantly to waste and pollution, there is something we can do about our profession’s contribution to environmental degradation – and many practices are already greener than they think they are!

The Case for Green Dentistry introduces practitioners to the basics of eco-friendly dental practice. By incorporating greener methods in the areas of administration and marketing, office design and construction, and dental processes and procedures, dental practitioners can differentiate themselves and serve a growing population of patients who seek out green products and services. Learn how eco-friendly dentistry benefits the planet, patient, and the bottom line.

What can we do for our patients to help them grow this beneficial plaque? The simple answer may surprise you…

Course objectives:

-- Explain the mixed ecological approach to caries causation

-- Understand when to recommend appropriate therapies

-- Integrate white spot reversal and white spot prevention strategies

The dental professionals are recognizing a changing philosophy in practice for preventing dental caries, reversing enamel lesions and minimizing enamel degradation with the use of combination fluoride and calcium phosphate therapies. Recent research reflects great success in integrating ACP to promote fluoride uptake in individuals with compromising oral health risks.

This program will highlight specific cases that pose the greatest risk for caries and demonstrate the application of a risk assessment (CAMBRA) to design an appropriate prevention and maintenance plan.
