Course Description: For some patients, a history of trauma, anxiety disorders, or substance abuse can create a sense of real fear around a dental appointment. The relationship between the dental professional and patient is the key factor in what helps trauma survivors in recovery and building resilience to end the vicious cycle of dental fear. The fear of a dental appointment may leave the patient and clinician feeling exhausted and confused. Awareness of the neurobiological responses to trauma can help dental professionals provide optimum treatment with empathy and compassion. This course will discuss many non-dental related traumas that may cause the patient severe anxiety during a dental appointment. It will address treatment from a trauma-informed care mindset, guiding dental professionals to a deeper understanding of dental fear and management.

Course Description: Over 46 million people in the United States have the silent beginnings of Alzheimer's disease in their brains. The disease begins as many as 20-30 years before symptoms of memory loss appear, and opportunity abounds for prevention. Optimizing lifestyle is imperative, and using multidisciplinary approaches that include dental providers yields the best results.

Caring for our brains takes perseverance, but the rewards can last a lifetime. How we live our lives today impacts our tomorrow. You'll be challenged and revered for your role as a healthcare provider and clearly understand how your talents not only change patients' lives but may very well save them from one of the most tragic diseases we've ever known.

The participant will get a look into myofunctional therapy, which is an individualized program designed to tone and coordinate the orofacial complex. Normalizing good oral development and function includes restoring the correct functional and rest patterns of musculature affecting occlusion, breathing, swallowing, speech, and TMD. SPOTS is the acronym and screening tool developed by the speaker to aid the clinician in easily identifying myofunctional disorders in the clinical setting. We will look at how Speech, Posture, Occlusion, Tethered oral tissues, and Swallow (SPOTS) affect our patients.
