We’ve all seen the headlines – “Fluoride is Poison”, “Fluoride Decreases IQ”, “Fluoride is an Industrial Waste”. Apart from stirring up public discussion, this type of press may result in new challenges for practicing clinicians. Historically, the biggest push back to varnish was and still may be cost but how do you handle the health concerns a patient may have? As tough as these questions are, at least they mean there is room for discourse! As you know, some patients might outright refuse and not be open to conversation.

In this CE webinar, we will explore how to overcome fluoride hesitancy among patients with practical recommendations you can implement into your everyday routine. We’ll review current, high-quality research that clearly demonstrates the safety and benefits of fluoride, while also sharing practical communication strategies to help you address patient concerns, rebuild trust, and continue advancing prevention in your practice. With the removal of systemic fluorides, the dental hygiene community is on the front line in caries prevention. ( full description, bio and commercial disclosure )

Silver Diamine Fluoride in the Hands of a General Dentist Presenter: Timothy Bizga, D.D.S. CE Supporter: Centrix Release Date: 11/12/25 Expiration Date: 11/12/28 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Many general dentists associate silver diamine fluoride with pediatric or geriatric patients, where caries arrest outweighs esthetic concerns. Dentists, especially in esthetically focused practices, dismiss SDF as incompatible with their treatment goals. But this view is outdated. In this CE webinar, we will review how proper case selection and clinical integration make SDF not only compatible with general dentistry but also a powerful diagnostic and disease stabilizing tool. Learn how incorporating SDF can elevate patient care, improve outcomes, and strengthen your practice’s business model—without sacrificing esthetics.

Stop Watching and Start Preventing Presenter: Dr. Joy Void-Holmes, RDH, BSDH, DHSc CE Supporter: Centrix Release Date: 9/22/25 Expiration Date: 9/22/28 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

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.

Metrics that Matter: Using Prevention Protocols to Drive KPIs and Case Acceptance Presenter: Alicia Murria, RDH, MS CE Supporter: Centrix Release Date: 6/11/25 Expiration Date: 6/11/28 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

What if preventative care was viewed as a calibrated system that elevated team performance and drove measurable growth? This CE webinar explores how dental teams can use structured prevention tools to align around a shared standard of care, improve patient outcomes, and track the business impact of their hygiene department. Attendees will examine how self-assessments, risk evaluations, and communication tools create consistency across providers, leading to stronger documentation, better case acceptance, and elevated KPIs. The CE webinar will also touch on the impact of prevention on key performance indicators (KPIs), including hygiene production, case acceptance, and patient retention. Whether you’re a hygienist, practice owner, or clinical lead, this course will provide practical strategies to turn prevention into profitability—rooted in individualized patient care. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to strengthen their role as a prevention specialist by enhancing their skills in early risk-identification, communicating findings effectively, and incorporating streamlined tools while boosting clinical efficiency.

Prevention - The Base for Good Oral Health and Restorative Success Presenter: Timothy Bizga, D.D.S. CE Supporter: Centrix Release Date: 10/28/24 Expiration Date: 10/28/27 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Restorative care is the core of dentistry. Dentists are proud of their work and the beautiful restorations they create; however, with high-risk patients it can feel like building a house on sand when the restoration ultimately fails due to secondary caries. Preventive care addresses the underlying cause (dental caries) and ultimately ensures a more predictable restorative outcome. In this webinar, I will discuss the importance of individualized preventive care – how it benefits the patient’s overall oral health, and in cases where the patient receives restorative treatment, extends the longevity of the restoration. I will further explain how prevention is not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Treatment should be tailored to the patient’s caries risk and should not be limited by age or insurance coverage.

Back-to-School Essentials: Fluoride Varnish and Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) Presenter: Dr. John Frachella CE Supporter: Centrix Release Date: 8/1/24 Expiration Date: 8/1/27 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Good oral health plays an important role in a student’s performance at school. Dental disease can distract from learning, cause students to miss school, or even lower their self-esteem. With caries being the most common chronic childhood disease in the U.S., it is crucial for us as clinicians to have strong prevention protocols in place. Fluoride varnish is an essential tool in preventive care. But what about patients who present with active caries? This CE webinar will address silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and how it stops further progression of caries lesions thus controlling the disease even if we can’t restore the tooth with drilling and filling right away.

Importance of Silver Diamine Fluoride in the Restorative Process Presenter: Dr. Analia Veitz-Keenan CE Supporter: Centrix Release Date: 6/17/24 Expiration Date: 6/17/27 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Many clinicians believe that once a carious lesion is treated with silver diamine fluoride, restorative treatment is no longer necessary. The truth is, SDF does not restore the form and function of the tooth, therefore, in most cases, the restoration is still needed. It is important for clinicians to understand the benefits of incorporating SDF as a standard part of the restorative process for all patients. SDF buys time, preserves healthy tooth structure, and provides you and your patients with more flexible treatment options. During this CE webinar, we will present specific case examples to show the value SDF adds to restorative care.

Silver Diamine Fluoride for Patients of All Ages Presenter: Dr. Justin Cardarelli and Dr. Marmar Mesgarzadeh CE Supporter: Centrix Release Date: 4/15/24 Expiration Date: 4/15/27 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Silver diamine fluoride has been used internationally for decades due to its antimicrobial and desensitizing properties. This therapeutic agent has only become available in the Unites States in the recent years and there is a lot of unclarity surrounding its use. As clinicians, it is vital for us to fully understand its benefits and embrace its usage as it can help us better care for our patients. In this CE webinar, we will discuss the mechanisms of action behind SDF, describing how and why it works as a desensitizer and a caries arrest agent. We will outline the best ways you can incorporate it into your treatment protocol and discuss the unique benefits it provides to patients of all ages, including children where SDF is used commonly, and adults where this tool is underutilized.

If you believe SDF is only for pediatric and geriatric patients, this webinar will change your approach. Other treatment options like fluoride varnish and sealants will also be covered. I will break down when and how each treatment should be used for best patient outcomes based on evidence.
