Dental fear and anxiety are among the most common reasons patients delay or avoid oral healthcare. The dental environment is filled with sensory stimuli, including bright lights, unfamiliar sounds, smells, tastes, and touch sensations that can contribute to distress and discomfort. For individuals who are neurodivergent, have intellectual or developmental disabilities, have experienced trauma, or experience heightened anxiety, sensory processing differences may further impact their ability to tolerate dental treatment. This CE webinar introduces dental professionals to the role of sensory processing in the patient experience. It explores evidence-based sensory adaptations that can reduce anxiety, improve cooperation, and support more positive dental visits. Participants will learn practical, low-cost strategies to create a more sensory-friendly clinical environment and enhance patient-centered care for individuals across the lifespan.

One of the most valuable steps a new dentist can take is finding a mentor—someone who’s been in the field for 25 years or more and has learned through experience, including their own mistakes. A mentor offers the chance to see what lies ahead, helping you avoid getting caught up in the moment and make well-thought-out decisions about the kind of practice you want to build and the investments you’ll need to make. Today, we’re sitting down with Dr. Chris Pescatore, a general dentist with over 30 years of experience. He has been a pioneer in digital dentistry since the early ’90s and has seen it all when it comes to creating aesthetic restorations. As you listen to Dr. Pescatore’s insights, we hope you gain invaluable advice to help guide you as you embark on your own dental career.

Guest: Dr. Brian Novy
Today we’re talking about direct restorative materials that can truly change the course of your patients’ dental health — and no, not just composite, but glass ionomer and resin-modified glass ionomer. Used strategically, these materials can help patients avoid a lifetime of fillings, crowns, and repeat dental work. And adopting this conservative approach doesn’t mean sacrificing revenue — in fact, building a practice focused on preserving healthy tooth structure attracts patients who value care that’s truly in their best interest. Joining us is Dr. Brian Nový, a leading cariologist at Virginia Commonwealth University with faculty appointments at Harvard and Western University, and a private practice owner in Salem, Massachusetts. He’ll explain how glass ionomer and RMGI bond to teeth, their clinical applications, address concerns about strength and aesthetics, and show how they can transform long-term patient outcomes.
