Dental Implications of Complementary and Alternative Therapies

Welcome to our course on the dental implications of Complementary and Alternative Therapies. This course is essential for comprehending and managing the impact of CAM on dental treatments, ensuring patient safety through informed clinical decisions and practices.

In this course, you will look at the various complementary and alternative therapies commonly used by patients, understand their impact on dental care, and learn strategies to manage potential risks and interactions effectively.

This course is specifically designed for dentists, dental professionals, and students who wish to expand their knowledge on the interplay between CAM and dentistry, and enhance their ability to provide comprehensive patient care.
