Achieving pH Neutralization
With a long history of providing safe and effective oral health care products, Church & Dwight is dedicated to advancing oral health. As part of this vision, we strive to offer dental professionals the research and education they need to stay up to date on the provision of care. Church & Dwight—with its long-standing and trusted oral care solutions—is proud to provide an unrestricted educational grant in support of this continuing education article, “Achieving pH Neutralization,” by Martha McComas, RDH, MS. This important paper will ensure clinicians are well prepared to help their patients support remineralization and prevent dental diseases. We hope you find it helpful in your quest to provide individually tailored care to each of your patients.
Anxiety, Depression, Stress, and Oral Health
"Anxiety, depression, and stress have also been linked to poorer oral health status and treatment outcomes. This relationship has been linked to the alterations that stress may induce on the immune system. Additionally, adequate treatment and antidepressant agents have anti-inflammatory functions that may serve to improve outcomes during periodontal therapy, but their adverse effects on salivary flow may impact caries rates. Because of the high prevalence of anxiety and depression in the population and the importance of adequate treatment for oral and overall health outcomes, identification, screening, and referral of at-risk patients seen in the dental office is a critical part of ensuring overall patient wellness. This course seeks to identify risk screening tools to assess anxiety and depression in the patient population seeking dental care and to evaluate the link between these common mental health disorders and oral health."
Infection Prevention & Control in Dental Settings
"This page lets you view the content of the Summary of Infection Prevention Practices in Dental Settings: Basic Expectations for Safe Care document online. [This includes]: Infection prevention program administrative measures[;] Infection prevention education and training[;] Respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette[;] Updated safe injection practices." PDFs of this content is also available.
"This is part 2 of a 10-part series entitled Caries Process and Prevention Strategies. Dental caries is a multifactorial, infectious disease affecting a significant percentage of the population. This course describes the etiology and pathways of progression of dental caries, including an in-depth review of the role of dental plaque and oral bacteria."
"Bonnie Bassler discovered that bacteria 'talk' to each other, using a chemical language that lets them coordinate defense and mount attacks. The find has stunning implications for medicine, industry -- and our understanding of ourselves."
