During this intensive workshop, you will embark on a journey of skill enhancement, led by industry experts Dr. Bill and Dr. Joy. The first half of the course will focus on Dr. Joy's "Think Scale Prevent" curriculum, refreshing and building upon your hand instrumentation techniques. From basic scaling to the use of newer instruments, you'll gain practical experience and increased confidence in your abilities. The second half of the course will shift to Dr. Bill's "Mastering Clinical Skills" program. Here, you will delve into the world of preventive products, learning how they support patient health before and after hand instrumentation. Additionally, we'll tackle the complexities of yearly changes to the CDT dental codes. But we're not just about theory. This hands-on workshop will provide each participant with the opportunity to experience award-winning tools and technologies firsthand. You'll familiarize yourself with delivery systems, understand product dispensing, and test their application on models or even yourself at your workstation. By the end of this course, you'll not only possess a renewed sense of self-assured proficiency in scaling techniques but also a deeper understanding of preventive products and dental codes. More than that, you'll be able to perform your duties with precision, power, and a preventative approach. Join us and take a significant stride towards becoming an invaluable asset to any dental office.
