Sunrise Side District Dental Hygienists' Society
Is pleased to offer the following seminar with accreditation from the Michigan Board of Dentistry."Xylitol: The Future of Preventive Health"
Xylitol is an amazing health discovery that affects the disease process that causes dental caries and inflammation. It reduces the amount of bacterial biofilm and alters its structure. Xylitol exhibits very promising results in treating; sinusitis, otitis media, dental caries, chronic wounds and affecting the inflammatory response in the mouth which has been linked to a variety of systemic conditions. New areas of research on xylitol and demineralization provide us with the science and evidence to develop prevention programs that are effective and designed for each individual patient after their risk is assessed.
Presented by Cindy Heinz-Schoeninger, RDH, BS
Course objectives:
Know the history and science of xylitol.
Understand what a bacterial biofilm is and how xylitol interferes with bacterial function.
Be able to recommend xylitol in adequate amounts for health benefits.
Understand the caries process and demineralization.
Incorporate 100% xylitol products into caries prevention treatment plans along with other emerging products.This seminar will be held at the Alpena County Library, 211 N. 1st. Ave., Alpena, MI.
