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’?

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.
