In the dental industry, there are many important rules and factors that go into maintaining a healthy environment for not only the staff, but for the patients as well. One of the biggest practices that may sometimes be forgotten by even the most seasoned professional is maintaining and updating clinical skills required to be a successful, yet ethical, dental hygienist. Keeping up with the latest practices and refreshing old lessons is very much needed to maintain a healthy and safe environment for everyone. This guarantees that the patient is getting the best possible care from you, as a dental hygienist. The Canadian Academy of Dental Health and Community Sciences (CADH) is offering a clinical refresher course to anyone whoa��d like to upgrade their skills or prepare for their National Board Exams. This course has been approved by the CDHO and will run July 15th-18th, 2013. Please call or email admissions for more information: 905-278-2794 or info@cadh.ca
Why would upgrading your skills be beneficial?
Sometimes, due to stress, repetition, or even lack of motivation, certain lessons and skill sets can be lost in the work environment. Procedures that are performed on a daily basis can be refined. A refresher course is not only recommended, but certainly needed for every professional to ensure that the patient is getting the best care possible. This type of concern shown towards the patients can only create a more positive atmosphere, as well as a trusting relationship, which is crucial to your success.
As a dental hygienist, you are given the sacred trust of your patient. They depend on you to resolve and cure any issues that they have- not create more! Patients rely on the dental hygienist to provide them with the advice and care that they are not knowledgeable with. Staying up to date with anything new that has surfaced is a way to maintain the trust of your patients since they are more likely to trust a professional that shows a desire to obtain a wider range of skills to better serve the patient.
Whether for an ethical or personal reason, it is essential that every dental hygienist always refreshes him or herself with the most up to date practices. Patients will only be satisfied when knowing they are getting the best. Please contact our Admissions department for more information on our Clinical Refresher course today!
