WNL means within normal limits but are we sure? Oral cancer is one of the most treatable of the major cancers when discovered and treated early. Dental professionals are uniquely positioned to screen patients and detect oral cancer in its early, treatable stage. Patti’s passion for this subject helps to open eyes, minds and hearts to change the dread statistics.

1pm-4pm: Patti Digangi will be speaking on Enamel Therapy: the Next Generation of Care (3 CEUs).
A changing paradigm in caries management has widened our decision in dental preventive care. With terms such as minimally invasive and re-mineralization technologies, we are faced with a new decision model in diagnosing and treating the caries disease process. This program introduces the exciting new trends in desensitization, topical fluorides, prophy pastes and varnish therapies.
