This course is a response to the evolving landscape of periodontal instruments, emerging theories, and novel treatment modalities in dental hygiene.

The course will provide comprehensive guidance on how to effectively teach pre-clinical dental hygiene with a focus on the latest tools and techniques. We will delve into the new AAP Classifications, lasers, ultrasonics, and air polishing along with traditional hand instruments. The course will not only introduce these methods but also discuss when and how to implement each one in a teaching context.

Through this course, educators will be empowered to integrate cutting-edge practices into their curriculum while maintaining a strong foundation in traditional techniques. We aim to equip our educators with the knowledge and skills required to produce competent, confident, and forward-thinking dental hygienists.

Expect a blend of theoretical knowledge, practical demonstrations, and interactive discussions. By the end of this course, you will have a refreshed understanding of pre-clinical dental hygiene education and be ready to instruct with impact.
