Stop Chasing Cavities
Start Managing Risk
Virtual CE Event: Mastering CAMBRA in Dental Hygiene
Shift your practice from "drilling and filling" to true cavity prevention. Join us online for an evidence-based dive into CAMBRA (Caries Management by Risk Assessment), the gold-standard protocol for modern dental hygienists.
In this interactive virtual session, you will learn how to:
-
Assess Risk Instantly: Accurately categorize patients into Low, Moderate, High, or Extreme cavity risk groups.
-
Identify Hidden Triggers: Evaluate the critical balance between a patient's biological risk factors and protective behaviors.
-
Customize Protocols: Formulate targeted intervention plans using prescription therapeutics, remineralization therapies, and behavioral coaching.
-
Boost Patient Compliance: Learn virtual and chairside communication strategies that motivate patients to take control of their oral health at home.
