Diabetes Drugs and Dental Care: Beyond ‘What’s Your A1c?’
Course Description
Diabetes is showing up in the dental chair every single day, but caring for these patients goes far beyond asking for an A1c. In this engaging one-hour session, Tom and Kelly unpack what today’s diabetes drugs really mean for dental care and why every member of the dental team needs to understand the bigger picture. From hypoglycemia risk and scheduling considerations to treatment planning decisions and communication across the practice, this presentation brings a fresh, real-world perspective to caring for patients with diabetes. Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of how to work together as a team to create safer visits, better patient experiences, and more informed clinical decisions.
