Course Description:
Hygienists are in the trenches on the battlefield fighting against chronic inflammation daily, and if not defeated, over time, will lead to deteriorating health, poor quality of life, and even death of our patients. Your body’s primary function is to survive by taking the next breath and will compensate in any way possible to do just that. Everything else is secondary. Find out how these compensations can lead to chronic inflammation throughout a lifetime and your vital role in extinguishing it.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand hygienists' critical role in identifying and assessing underlying inflammation related to airway breathing, sleep issues, and the orofacial component in patient care.
- Recognize anatomy and conditions in the oral cavity causing issues with function growth and leading to the breakdown of multiple body systems over time.
- Discuss how to recommend individualized treatment to achieve optimal health and well-being of the patients.
