SRP and Beyond: Developing Perio Protocols for Any Office - 2 CEU Course Description Join us for another fun event as we continue to nourish our inner perio detectives! This month we will turn patient assessment into periodontal disease diagnoses and treatment planning. Even if you missed the first 2 courses, we are sure this 3rd one will bring both quality and value to your practice. We will demystify the “new” AAP guidelines, learn how to develop and implement a perio program that is unique to your office, and get comfortable converting those prohpies into periodontal therapy when they need it. Elevate your game by taking the best possible care of your patients, being comfortable with referring when indicated, and helping your practice thrive. As always, our goal is to rekindle your enthusiasm, curiosity, and joy of being your patient’s MVP! "Great job, ladies!
