Anxiety, pain, depression, burnout. Dentistry can be difficult and take a toll. Studies show us that dental professionals experience a high incidence of mental illness. Additionally, many dental professionals don’t clearly understand the mental health conditions that our patients present with, which red flags to watch for, or what to do/how to intervene.
Presented in Dr. Joshua Austin’s trademark comedic style, this CE webinar explores strategies for working together to improve mental health so we can be our best.
Learn how to recognize triggers and warning signs. Identify essential tools and resources. Discover how and when to refer to a mental health professional. Explore
and understand mental health terms, common treatments and therapy options. Gain coping mechanisms and learn how to manage expectations – both our own and those of our patients. Dental professionals often examine the physical aspects of wellness yet we rarely explore or discuss the mental aspects. It is time to remove the taboo and face the facts.

This CE webinar explores the importance of integrating mental health considerations into dental care strategies, focusing on patient-centered approaches to improve outcomes. Key aspects covered include understanding the oral health implications of psychiatric medications, the role of oral health professionals in recognizing signs of mental illness, and the need for tailored dental care plans to accommodate the specific needs of this population. Additionally, preventive strategies, such as establishing oral health routines, regular dental visits, and collaboration between mental health providers and dental professionals, are discussed to enhance care and reduce the long-term risks of dental diseases for those living with mental illness. By fostering a holistic approach to care that addresses both mental and oral health, dental professionals can play a pivotal role in improving the overall well-being of individuals suffering from mental illness. The webinar concludes with recommendations for further research and education to bridge gaps in dental care for this vulnerable population.
A vast majority of the indirect restorations place in the dental practice currently are either fabricated from zirconia or lithium disilicate. The popularity of these materials is due to their excellent esthetics, durability and can be fabricated at a reasonable fee. But these materials are different and a significant factor in the clinical longevity of these materials is following correct clinical protocol at delivery and an understanding of the what the best choices of cement materials that are currently available. This CE webinar will discuss the appropriate protocol for the pretreatment of these two materials to maximize the retention of each type of restoration. Additionally, the webinar will discuss the different categories of dental cements currently available and which cements are better choices for each type of material and the clinical situation presented.
There are a lot of different adhesives, ceramic conditioners, and cements available which can create confusion as to what to use and when. This CE webinar was created to discuss the differences that should be considered when selecting indirect restorative cements and the steps to take when using different types of restorative materials to help avoid costly mistakes.

So we're beginning to hear more and more about the benefits of warming composite. For one thing, because of the lower viscosity at the time of application, it's a whole lot easier on your hand. But the real benefit lies in adaptation and we all know that the better adaptation, the less likely we'll see recurrent decay and post-operative sensitivity. To tell us why she loves warming composite and how easy it is to make the transition in your operatory to this technique, is our guest Dr. Lauren Rainey. Dr. Rainey is a regular contributor on Viva Learning.com and currently teaches direct restorative techniques to dentists in the US & Canada.
