The days of marketing your practice through esthetic dentistry may be over or a losing battle. Research shows that over twenty five percent of the dental population do not visit a dentist on a regular basis out of fear. They may be afraid of the injection, the sound of the drill or the anticipated pain associated with a dental procedure. This CE webinar is designed for the entire dental team, specialists and practitioners with all levels of experience. I will discuss the unique problems or concerns associated with treating anxious patients. We will cover local anesthesia, non-pharmacological and pharmacological ways to manage your patients. In order to treat this unique population the provider must understand the unique challenges they present. My practice was dedicated to treating the anxious patient and over the past 42 years I've developed systems to treat this under served group of dental patients.

This CE webinar will examine the evolving role of tooth whitening in contemporary dentistry and its integration across multiple specialties. With the growing demand for minimally invasive treatments, 10% carbamide peroxide has emerged as more than a whitening agent - it offers versatile clinical benefits and revenue opportunities for the entire dental team. Beyond cosmetic applications, this webinar will explore its use in periodontal therapy for hygiene management, in orthodontics as an adjunct for aligner patients, in endodontics for internal bleaching, in oral surgery for wound healing, and even in managing caries risk due to its bactericidal and cariostatic properties. Hygienists and dental assistants will gain practical strategies for recommending and implementing these protocols, making them key players in enhancing patient care and practice growth. Attendees will also learn up-to-date procedures, dispel myths, and discover innovative, low-cost marketing approaches to maximize these benefits across the dental team.
