MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN
THE DENTAL HYGIENE PROFESSION
This seminar gives an overview of stress and stress management in
the dental hygiene field. Discussions include the most common types
of stress experienced in a dental practice and the actions we take,
increasing or reducing them. With the ever-changing environment
in the health care field (especially with recent events), acknowledging
stress and anxiety in the dental field and learning how to cope
will improve the dental hygienist's mental health and increase
enjoyment in our daily lives. Discussions include triggers and how
our behavior can impact our stress level and evaluate our stresses.
Learn how humor and a supportive environment are beneficial to the
dental professional and patient and how working in an anxiety/fearbased
profession adds to our anxiety levels.

CANNABIS AND ITS CLINICAL DENTAL IMPLICATIONS
Many states have legalized cannabis (marijuana) for medical use and
recreational purposes. It is promoted as a replacement for opioids in
the treatment of pain and even as a substitute for opioids in addiction
treatment. Yet, due to its status as a Schedule I substance, there has
been relatively little research regarding cannabis and its medicinal
uses, especially in dentistry. This presentation introduces the dental
professional to the most current information regarding cannabis,
including its various dosage forms, routes of administration, adverse
effects, and effects on dental treatment.
RUTH S. MARSILIANI, R.D.H., M.S., F.B.P.F.
SLEEP, SLEEP APNEA AND THEIR
ASSOCIATION TO PERIODONTAL DISEASE
Sleep is an integral component of our overall health, and in recent
years there has been a growing body of evidence directly linking
sleep loss to periodontal disease.This presentation explores the sleep
loss initiated inflammatory response, which results in an increased
risk for periodontal disease. Participants will understand how sleep
loss modifies mediators of inflammation within the body, how the
incidence of sleep disorders has increased since the advent of COVID19,
and the resulting impact on oral health.
