Drs. Hal Crossley and Mitchell Gardiner will present an engaging program on the newest changing standards of care that challenge dentists. It is imperative that dentists stay up to date on the changes that affect clinical dentistry daily. This course will cover a wide array of topics including areas, such as: medical history/medical clearance, oral cancer screening and documentation/follow-up, opioids and pain management, informed consent for procedures and drugs, prophylactic antibiotic protocols and antibiotic usage. 

Life is full of unpredictable events. Unfortunately, injuries and mishaps occur in dental offices every day. During this course, learn the type of injuries and mishaps that are most common and damaging to a dentist. Dealing with these mishaps, learning how to clinically document records and understanding accepted standards of care are critically important to every dentist. Dr. Mitchell Gardiner will review and analyze several cases followed by detailed instructions on appropriate responses in the event a mishap takes place in your office.

This live interactive course will be stimulating, informative and fun for dentists and their staffs who have wondered what really takes place during a malpractice trial in the courtroom. Two lawyers examine and cross-examine the defendant dentist. This is an excellent chance for dental professionals to see and hear what type of questions are asked and how things really go down. This is a rare opportunity to be amid a trial without any of the anxiety.

Clinical documentation is the gold standard in malpractice defense. Teaching a dental team how to meet accepted standards of dental care and having it documented is a powerful defense tool in court. This program will teach every member of the team, hygienists, assistants and front office staff personnel, the important role that they all play in making an office the best practice it can be for providing high quality dentistry to patients while protecting the dentist from malpractice liability.

Do you obtain honest and complete medical histories from your patients? Really? Do you have valid informed consent discussions with your patients? Do you document them properly, so they would stand up in a court of law? Do you have a clue how important both aspects of dental practice are to your patient’s well-being and to yours? You would be wise to spend three hours with Dr. Mitchell Gardiner. Learn before it is too late.
