Stop Watching and Start Preventing
Presenter: Dr. Joy Void-Holmes, RDH, BSDH, DHSc CE Supporter: Centrix
The conventional “watch-and-wait” philosophy for caries management has become increasingly obsolete in clinical practice. Contemporary dentistry demands a proactive paradigm that leverages advanced preventive and therapeutic modalities to mitigate disease progression. Passive observation of early carious lesions exposes patients to the risk of untreated progression and potential tooth loss. Current best practices advocate for interventions that prioritize prevention and early management, utilizing evidence-based protocols such as silver diamine fluoride. These approaches enable immediate response when caries is detected, arresting lesions and optimizing patient outcomes. For individuals at elevated risk, the critical question shifts to identifying which preventive strategies—beyond traditional diagnostics or age-based recommendations—will offer the most robust protection. The future of caries care is personalized, risk-based, and tailored to each patient’s unique clinical needs, guided by individual risk factors rather than generalized guidelines or insurance limitations.

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) affects your quality of life and your overall health. The ability to safely swallow is vital for adequate nutrition and hydration, and it prevents foods and liquids from entering your lungs, where they can cause pneumonia. Depending on which part of the swallowing process is affected, dysphagia can be described as:
• Oral dysphagia — when the problem is in the mouth, usually due to the movement of the tongue
• Pharyngeal or oropharyngeal dysphagia — when the problem is regarding food passing through the throat
• Esophageal dysphagia — when food is unable to move down through the esophagus
Swallowing disorders can lead to tooth decay and other oral health issues if they cause food or liquid to remain in the mouth. This can increase the risk of cavities and other oral diseases.

If your waterline test results were a grade, would you proudly post them on the fridge or toss them in the trash? This CE webinar is your mid-year reality check. Dental Infection Control Awareness Month isn’t just a poster. It’s your chance to stop and ask questions that actually matter. We’re using dental unit waterline testing as the lens to evaluate your protocols, products, and people. Because clean waterlines don’t happen by accident. And if things are falling apart here, they’re probably falling apart somewhere else too. Not sure this is for you? Quick check: Should you test your waterlines before you shock or after? If you’re not sure, if you’re second-guessing yourself, or if you don’t even know what a waterline test looks like, then this webinar is for you. DICAM is the perfect time to check your protocols, retrain your team, and fix what’s been quietly breaking down behind the scenes. Stop guessing. Start testing. Use what you find to level up.
This is not your father's composite webinar. Dr. John Gammichia, a full time private practice dentist, lives in the real world. A world where people break cusps and can't afford a build-up and onlay/crown. So what do you do? Pull it?! How about an exquisite 2,3,4 or 5 cusp composite restoration? Of course, we will start with the class I and the class II restorations. We will of adhesion and some of the current biomimetic philosophy. Then we will build from this knowledge. How do you handle uncomfortably big restorations or deep decay? How about big AND deep restorations? How about cracks? Lastly, we will discuss your obstacles to this type of dentistry...do they last or can I make any money doing dentistry this way? This CE webinar will be fun but Dr. Gammichia wants you to feel a little uncomfortable...you will be challenged. By the end of the webinar you will be saying "Holy Cow! I Didn't Know You Could do that with Composite."
Although we have talked about water lines and the contaminants they carry for over 30 years in dentistry, we have done little to address the issue. Several communities across the nation seeing the effects of improper protocols, or none at all. Dental offices must address this issue now head-on. There is so much misinformation out there on how to properly clean and maintain your water lines, it's important we get the best information to learn what needs to be done and create a protocol for our practices. Knowing is half the battle!
