Caries Doesn’t Have an Age Limit!

The Centrix Prevention for Life Toolkit
We’ll take the guesswork out of implementing the perfect prevention protocol in your office. With easy-to-follow guidelines, plus our expert downloadable resources, this toolkit will make your preventive-care procedures a piece of cake!
Optimize Your Practice for Better Patient Outcomes
As a dental hygienist, your primary goal is to provide outstanding oral health care to your patients. Our Practice Health Calculator is designed to help you understand the impact of preventative treatments on your patients’ oral health and the overall health of your practice.
Enhance Patient Outcomes: By integrating effective preventive treatments, you contribute to significant reductions in dental decay and enhance overall patient satisfaction.
Support Practice Viability: Understand how these treatments can be implemented affordably while still supporting the financial health of your practice, making preventive care accessible to more patients.
Promote Informed Decisions: Use this tool to demonstrate to your practice managers or owners the benefits of adopting a more cost-effective pricing strategy for preventive care, encouraging broader implementation.
How it works:
Input details about your daily patient interactions, treatment costs, and pricing. The calculator will provide:
Operational Impact: By adopting preventive treatments, you can see an estimated increase in patient engagement and a reduction in long-term treatment costs. For example, regular fluoride varnish applications can reduce the need for future fillings or crowns, thus lowering overall treatment costs for your practice.
Financial Health: The tool calculates potential revenue impacts from new pricing strategies that make preventive care more accessible. This might include showing the profit per treatment session and projecting annual savings from reduced intensive treatments.

Prevention-Centered Success
CE Credits: 1 CEU
This webinar reviews why restoration alone is not a cure for caries disease and why focusing on strengthening tooth structure and modifying oral biofilms to favor dental health is key. It also emphasizes that dental caries must be managed as a chronic disease throughout a patients’ lifetime and that motivating patients to change is best achieved when the entire dental team is calibrated and committed to a prevention centered approach.
Silver Diamine Fluoride and Beyond: Caries Management & Prevention for Adult Patients
CE Credits: 1 CEU
Caries is increasing in the adult patients you treat every day. This CE webinar will address the guidelines and treatment protocols that will help successfully prevent and manage dental decay in this population. We will discuss silver diamine fluoride; break down some of the common misconceptions surrounding its use and demonstrate how you can improve your standard operative/restorative treatment protocol by incorporating SDF into the routine hygiene appointment, whenever clinically appropriate. If you believe SDF is only for pediatric and geriatric patients, this webinar will change your approach.
Prevention That Makes Sense May Not Be Happening in Your Office
CE Credits: 1 CEU
Have you ever been confused regarding all of the information around caries prevention? Should I use a gel, or varnish? What age needs fluoride? Or, who is really at risk and how do I have these conversations with my patients?

Additionally, this presentation will take a look at emerging trends and how you can develop and/or take your existing prevention program to the next level.
