Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United
States, affecting 40 million individuals over the age of 18. Several
avenues exist to control and combat symptoms, including diet. Nutrition can have both an emotional and chemical effect on how one
feels and although anxiety is not directly caused by diet, nutrition is a
contributing factor for the severity. This seminar discusses the various
forms of anxiety and the foods and supplements that may exacerbate
and ameliorate symptoms.

their information, and how it is stored. basically, any piece of information that can be used to identify an individual should be safeguarded. Despite regulations, HiPPA compliance does not ensure patient
records are secure. This seminar discusses keeping HiPAA compliant
when sending and storing patient records electronically.

CoMMoN oRAL LESIoNS:
DiffErEntial DiaGnosis anD trEatMEnt
with the focus of dentistry changing from restorative procedures
to the prevention of disease, providers find themselves in the position to identify the oral disease and prevent disease progression in
healthy patients. Patients often present with sore irritated mucosa,
but the symptoms of peeling, redness, and blisters can be attributed to many different etiologies. This program presents an easily
reproducible approach to the differential diagnosis and treatment of
common oral lesions especially those diseases that mimic each other.
The focus is on the clinical management of common oral lesions, i.e.
relevant laboratory tests, treatment modalities and anticipated prognosis following appropriate therapy.
