Toronto is the place to be
By today Staff
n Here at ASM22, there is so much to
see and do.
From now until Saturday, you can
reconnect with colleagues and partake in various educational opportunities. It’s all part of the Ontario Dental
Association’s Annual Spring Meeting.
There are more than 90 speakers on
hand, who are presenting a wide range
of clinical, practice-management and
personal development topics. ODA
members can receive up to 18 continuing education credits over the course
of the meeting.
And while you are on site at the
Metro Toronto Convention Centre, be
sure to visit the exhibit hall because
meeting organizers have incorporated numerous attractions that are
designed to enhance your experience.
Don’t delay, because the marketplace
closes at 5:30 p.m. Friday.
The hall features hundreds of
exhibiting companies offering a wide
range of dental products and services.
You can watch demonstrations and
even “test-drive” the latest innovations. Use the coupon book in your
attendee bag to take advantage of a
range of show specials.
If you stop by the Healthly Eating
Zone, located in booth No. 2212, you
can savor a variety of food samplings
presented by Emily Richards, a professional home economist, bestselling cookbook author and food stylist. Richards is known for creating
healthy recipes that are easy for busy
people and families to prepare and
enjoy together around the kitchen
table.
The Ontario Dental Association’s Annual Spring Meeting is back this year at the
Metro Toronto Convention Centre. You can find most courses in the South Building,
though you may need to trek to the North Building for some, thanks to an expanded
course list. (Photo/Provided by Metro Toronto Convention Centre)

Stop by booth No. 346 to sign up for
a complimentary assessment that will
help you identify ergonomic issues
in your practice. You can learn from
experts who will equip you with the
knowledge and tools to reduce pain
and improve health and wellness in
your practice.
You might also want to stop by the
Relaxation Zone, located in booth No.
2142, where you can get a complimentary, 10-minute neck-and-shoulder
massage by a professional. This is
one of the meeting’s most popular
features, because it allows meeting
attendees the chance to take time out
to decompress and relax with some
downtime.
Definitely not to be missed is the
Smoothie Bar, located in booth No.
2222, where you can get a healthy and
refreshing smoothie for free.
It gets even better. After you’ve
been relaxed and satiated, you can
then proceed to the Headshot Salon, in
booth No. 1200, for a free professional
headshot that you can use in your
practice’s literature, website and on
social media.
Also be sure to check out the ODA
Membership Booth, located on the
800 level, outside the show floor,
where you can learn about the many
ways that the ODA helps to expand
your potential. ODA and Canadian
Dental Association staff are on hand
to answer your questions and ensure
that you are getting the most out of
your membership. You can learn about
the CDSPI Member Assistance Program (MAP). While at the booth you
can also reconnect with colleagues
and friends, and you can chat with
members of the Membership Services
and Programs Advisory Committee.

happening here in Toronto, check your

Poll: Oral health care a must for
Canada’s long-term care homes
n
According to a national poll
conducted by Abacus Data for the
Canadian Dental Hygienists Association (CDHA), nearly all Canadians
believe that oral health care should
be included in the new national standards for long-term care.
Most Canadians also give the current state of oral care for older adults
and seniors a poor rating.
The poll of 2,200 Canadian residents, conducted between Jan. 7 and
12, revealed that 88 percent would
like to see oral health care incorporated into the federal government’s
long-awaited national standards for
long-term care homes.
A majority (more than 50 percent)
also recognize that seniors face many
challenges when it comes to accessing
professional oral health care.
As essential primary health care
providers, dental hygienists know
seniors living in long-term care homes
have many unmet oral health needs,
which put their overall health at risk.

“Untreated oral conditions and diseases can cause pain, discomfort, difficulties chewing and swallowing and
are associated with heart and lung
diseases, diabetes and stroke,” said
CDHA President Wendy Stewart. “We
simply cannot continue to ignore the
oral health needs of this vulnerable
population.”
Among CDHA’s urgent recommendations for improving the lives of
Canada’s 400,000 residents in long-
term care are the addition of dental
hygienists to staff care teams across
the country. These dental hygienists
would be responsible for developing comprehensive oral health care
programs for residents as well as
oral health education programs for
workers.

Destination DM, and where

By DentalMonitoring Staff
n There are two types of consistency:
action and motivation.
Consistency in action is just what it
sounds like. Some call it being steadfast, others stubborn, but consistency
in action alone misses the mark.
Consistency in motivation, however, is what separates leaders in
orthodontics from those left wondering why the world changed around
them. As computing technology and
AI capabilities change the dental
industry, the people and organizations committed to motivational consistency have evolved along with it.
Remote monitoring technology has
advanced to the point where dental professionals can reliably trust
smartphones and capable monitoring
software to expand their practices
beyond what was conventionally feasible. With advanced remote monitoring comes the possibility for practices
and organizations to adjust how they

provide care for their patients, offering better treatment experience and
more touch points for the provider,
without sacrificing consistency in
their motivation to treat patients
effectively and to keep their practice
healthy.
Without question, the change
being made today by leading providers will reshape what it means to
provide care to patients in the most
effective, convenient and practical
manner possible.
Before remote monitoring solutions were available, it was inconceivable to monitor a patient’s clear
aligner or braces treatment every single week — but now it is, and patients
can enjoy the benefit of making only
necessary in-practice visits while
providers can leverage the optimized
chair time in any way they see fit.
To be consistent is a question of
why, not how. And when paired with
a digital solutions partner committed
to always finding how to best leverage emerging technologies, there’s
only one question left to ask: Where
will DentalMonitoring take your
practice?

Annual Spring Meeting — May 6, 2022
Mitigating dental anxiety:
Helping patients overcome
their fear of dental care
By Waterpik Staff
n The thought of dental procedures
makes some patients extremely nervous. According to a study by the University of Oulu in Finland, approximately one in two adults says they
are at least somewhat afraid of dental
care, and one in 10 says they are very
afraid.1
People with dental anxiety are
more likely to avoid, cancel or postpone appointments, which can lead
to serious oral health consequences
requiring more intense treatment or
even emergency care.
Whether your patients are children or adults, here are three tips
to help patients with dental anxiety
alleviate their fears:
1. Talk about it. Talk to your patients
about their anxiety and what, specifically, they’re anxious about, so you
can walk them through what’s going
to happen and help them mentally
prepare. Also, putting a positive spin
on the appointment can help give
them a sense of control and diminish
their fear. Explain to patients that by
getting good dental care now, they
can avoid serious dental problems
later.
2. Create a calming and friendly
office environment. Offering a variety
of reading materials in the waiting
room, playing soothing music or videos in the treatment room and providing natural lighting can go a long way
in easing dental angst.
3. Encourage them to practise good
oral hygiene. Practising good oral
hygiene helps prevent oral issues
in the first place, which will result
in not only better check-ups but
also fewer follow-up appointments for
treatment.

brush and floss at the same time in
one easy step.
The Sonic-Fusion 2.0 device has
three modes: brush, floss, or brush
and floss at the same time. At the
touch of a button, your patients can
switch from one mode to the other for
a fast and thorough clean.
Simple and easy to use, the SonicFusion 2.0:
• Was up to 50 percent more effective for improving gum health vs.
string flossing.2
• Removed up to 99.9 percent of
plaque biofilm from treated areas.3
The Sonic-Fusion 2.0 is just one
more way Waterpik is bringing innovation and simplicity to dental care
— and helping to turn dental fear into
dental vigilance so that instead of
avoiding examinations, your patients
will come for regular visits.
