Do you know what to say, what to do and more importantly, what not to do if your patient comes into your office ‘tweaked’, ‘geeked’ or ‘spun’?
Addiction affects one out of every 10 Americans. We all know someone who is addicted: a family member, friend, co-worker and even the patient sitting in your dental chair.
In this workshop, discover what addiction is and how easily it can affect anyone regardless of their age, income, ethnicity, education or status in life. Learn how to communicate with patients effectively and confidently without fear, judgement, or accusation. Recognize how to detect the physical, behavioral, and oral clues of methamphetamine; one of the most commonly abused and dangerous drugs in the dental setting. Learn how to develop realistic treatment plans utilizing the Meth Mouth Treatment Plan Assessment form. Learn how you can help addicted patients in your practice get on a road that can lead to recovery.
Are you tired of taking courses on substance abuse that don’t tell you what to do, what to say, or how to treat addicted dental patients? This course is for YOU!
