Course Description
Nicotine Addiction, Smoking, Tobacco Cessation, Vaping
Dental Professionals have a unique opportunity to share life-saving information with their patients that are addicted to nicotine products. Although smoking rates have declined there are still over 36 million adults that smoke in the U.S.A. The products are rapidly evolving and causing dental and medical disease, disability, and death to their users. This course will give the dental team the tools needed to be able to start their patient’s journey of becoming free of smoking, vaping, and dipping.
The educational teaching methodology used in this course is a self-study lecture presented via pre-recorded webinar in concert with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Both the pre-recorded webinar and the PowerPoint presentation incorporate a variety of audio and visual cues to enhance audience members’ understanding and retention of key concepts.
