(Half-Day) - we can add a workshop to this as well.

Blood tests have been used in modern medicine for a long time. They help guide many diagnoses and monitoring of treatment for the modern physician. In the past dentistry had perhaps a more mechanical focus and in recent times with greater use of surgery in our practices and better types of biomedical engineering options, blood work can be of great benefit to the dentist to guide diagnosis and monitoring of treatment for our patients which leads to better outcomes. Areas we focus on are Diabetes, Bone Healing, Bleeding, Liver function, Kidney Function, B12/Folate Deficiency, Calcium, Phosporus, Magnesium Deficiency, Infectious Diseases and Parasites.

The participants will learn:

5 Blood Tests that improve oral health outcomes.
2 Ways to improve communication with physicians.
2 Ways to venipuncture in your own office.
