Join us for our May 26th teleseminar on teenage oral health issues, presented by Susan Woodley of Philips Oral Healthcare.

The current and sometimes shocking health behaviours and trends in the younger generation can influence their oral and systemic health. The dental professional has an opportunity during the dental visit to identify risk behaviours and intervene with the teenager to make positive health choices.

Examining high risk behaviors and gender differences prepare the dental professional to initiate conversations that will provide guidance with the health decisions that face the youth of today.

Course Objectives: 
Upon completion of this course the participants will be able to:

1. Understand dietary issues
2. Recognize various risk behaviours
3. Enhance intervention skills
4. Customize and implement treatment strategies
