You will learn about the role of saliva in keeping teeth healthy. Information will be presented about healthy and sick saliva. Your understanding of this knowledge will give you great insight about “a new look at decay”. At the completion of this course, you will be able to deliver the appropriate decay prevention adjuncts for you patients. Learn how medical histories will help guide you in your treatment decisions. Understand the interaction of cancers and osteonecrosis of the jaw. This program is a must for the hygienist of the “New Dental/Medical Model”
