Program 2
The Missing pHuzzle Piece​
​

Do you ever have the patient that appears to be doing everything right with their homecare, but can’t escape the cycle of decay? Or the patient that proudly admits their lack of home dental care, but always seems to be healthy? Sometimes, looking in the mouth you can tell things just don’t make sense, but why?

​

These patients are in our presence every single day, and while something just doesn't add up, it can be difficult to understand exactly what is happening, why it's happening, or how to address it. 

​

This course will evaluate these situation and how oral pH plays a major role, but is most often the missing puzzle piece. Learn how to approach creating a change, which involves a paradigm shift from our traditional 'brush more, floss more, use more fluoride' type of thinking. Are you ready to discover the missing pHuzzle piece?
