Seminar Topic: Medical Management of the Dental Patient 

Speaker: Dr. Sangeeta Patodia

Course Description:

This 2-hour introductory course offers an exciting opportunity for dental hygienists to explore the powerful impact of Myofunctional Therapy in transforming oral and overall health. As hygienists, you are often the first to recognize signs of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs), and your role in early detection is essential for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.

In this course, we’ll guide you through the basics of Myofunctional Therapy, showing how even small observations during routine visits can make a world of difference. You'll learn why early identification by hygienists can lead to healthier airway, better oral development, and lasting improvements in your patients’ overall well-being. Join us to discover how you can enhance your practice with these simple yet impactful tools!
