Description
Assessing a patient’s risk for caries is a key component of preventive care that is critical to a patient’s overall health and well-being. Which assessment method is most effective? And how do you communicate risks in a way patients understand?
In this webinar, a collaboration between CareQuest Institute, Kansas City University, and the American Association of Public Health Dentistry (AAPHD), our expert panelists will discuss the CAMBRA — caries management by risk assessment — system and its benefits. They’ll also explore the role of coaching, motivational interviewing, and cultural humility to help identify and address patient risk factors — especially those outside of the dental office.
This is the second in a series of summer webinars on understanding, assessing, and managing caries — we invite you to attend one, two, or all three as your schedule allows!
Learning Objectives
Explain CAMBRA (caries management by risk assessment) and how providers can use it to assess a patient’s risk for developing caries.
Discuss how coaching can help providers address risk factors they identify during caries conversations with patients.
Demonstrate how cultural humility and motivational interviewing can change patients’ oral hygiene habits in practice and community settings.
