SUMMARY:Fireside Chat: Mastering Home Care To Achieve Superior Oral Health
DESCRIPTION:Kerry Lepicek will present a review of home care tools that can enhance patients’ routines and treatment outcomes. Dental professionals must prioritize daily biofilm disruption to maintain oral health and prevent dental issues. \nIn this session\, we will evaluate traditional home care solutions like manual toothbrushes and floss\, while stressing the need for additional strategies. We’ll explore various interdental brushes\, focusing on their sizes and bristle configurations to meet the individual needs of patients. Tips for choosing the right brush size will also be shared. \nWe’ll highlight specialty brushes\, such as tufted or Interspace designs\, which are essential for accessing difficult areas\, especially around implants and bridges. Our aim is to improve patients’ adherence to home care practices and enhance their oral health outcomes\, empowering them to achieve effective care at home. \nREGISTER HERE \nObjectives: \n\nAssess the effectiveness of traditional home care tools in patient care routines.\nAnalyze interdental brushes\, focusing on their sizes and bristle configurations\, to determine their suitability for different patient needs\nHighlight the use of specialty brush designs to address specific anatomical challenges in patients with periodontal disease\, implants\, bridges\, or other restorations\nImplement communication strategies that promote patient engagement in home care and enhance their involvement in oral health maintenance.\n\nSpeaker: \nKerry Lepicek is a registered dental hygienist with over 20 years of clinical experience.
