AM: Rx for the Real World / PM: Gum Game Plan

Speaker: Amber Auger, RDH

6 CE credits

AM: Rx for the Real World™ is an evidence-based course designed to equip dental professionals with the latest homecare innovations that actually make a difference. From remineralizing agents to salivary stimulants, biofilm disruptors to barrier-protecting rinses, we’ll break down the most effective products on the market—and how to implement them based on case presentation, compliance, and clinical outcomes.

This practical course goes beyond theory to give you patient-tested recommendations, product comparisons, and scripting to increase case acceptance and improve long-term outcomes.

PM: The Gum Game Plan™ is a case-based course designed for dental professionals who are ready to move beyond cookie-cutter treatment plans. Through real-life clinical scenarios, participants will explore the art of asking the right questions, identifying key clinical findings, and aligning products, frequencies, and techniques to each patient’s unique needs. This interactive workshop equips clinicians with practical scripts, decision trees, and the confidence to customize soft tissue management strategies that deliver measurable results.

• Identify common clinical indicators for high-risk conditions such as active caries, xerostomia, periodontal disease, and dentinal hypersensitivity.
• Evaluate innovative homecare products and their active ingredients, including calcium phosphate technologies, xylitol, stannous fluoride, arginine, and biopolymers.
• Differentiate between product delivery systems (e.g., varnishes, sprays, gels, rinses) based on patient needs and compliance potential.
• Analyze clinical case studies to determine the appropriate classification of periodontal or gingival conditions.
• Formulate customized soft tissue management protocols based on patient history, risk factors, and clinical findings.
• Develop tailored homecare and in-office treatment plans using evidence-based modalities and delivery systems.
