Fluoride is not just for kids! As our population ages, the need for fluoride treatments is becoming more critical. Xerostomia from poly pharmaceuticals, softer diets due to chewing issues, protection around newly placed cosmetic crowns and more provide the perfect opportunity to have a conversation with the patient to discuss ways to protect their financial investment in their oral health. It begins with understanding the proper CDT procedure codes to submit along with complete documentation to validate the procedure.

Upon completion of CE webinar, the participants will be able to
• Review and discuss the disease process of caries infection and how cavities form
