Why do some patients maintain excellent home care habits while others struggle to stay consistent? This webinar explores the behavioral science behind oral health compliance, examining how patient preferences, habits, and reward systems influence daily home care routines. Participants will gain insight into the common reasons flossing and other preventive behaviors break down over time and learn practical strategies for guiding patients toward lasting change. Through a behavior-based approach, attendees will discover how to improve patient engagement, strengthen recommendations, and select tools that support long-term success.

The Mental Dental Connection: The Secret to Being a Better Clinician and Leader
Presenter: Dr. Joshua Austin
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Anxiety, pain, depression, burnout. Dentistry can be difficult and take a toll. Studies show us that dental professionals experience a high incidence of mental illness. Additionally, many dental professionals don’t clearly understand the mental health conditions that our patients present with, which red flags to watch for, or what to do/how to intervene. Presented in Dr. Joshua Austin’s trademark comedic style, this CE webinar explores strategies for working together to improve mental health so we can be our best. Learn how to recognize triggers and warning signs. Identify essential tools and resources. Discover how and when to refer to a mental health professional. Explore and understand mental health terms, common treatments and therapy options. Gain coping mechanisms and learn how to manage expectations – both our own and those of our patients. Dental professionals often examine the physical aspects of wellness yet we rarely explore or discuss the mental aspects. It is time to remove the taboo and face the facts.






Direct Resin Artistry: Creating Life Like Restorations
Presenter: Dr. Jeffrey Lineberry
Sponsor: DMG America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Patients present to our offices almost daily with anterior teeth that need restorations, including ones that replace a portion of the tooth that is readily visible to the patient and others. In these cases, we can choose to restore the area with a direct or indirect restoration. Indirect restorations are managed often times by a ceramist, but direct restorations require a thorough knowledge of the material and the understanding of effective layering to achieve a restoration that blends in naturally with the sounding tooth structure. In this CE webinar, we will utilize a restorative material that simplifies the layering techniques to achieve an outstanding result.
