The purpose of this hybrid course is to prepare the junior dental hygiene student to effectively assess and individualize preventive oral health care through the use of brief motivational interviewing. The course will include evidenced based information in dental caries and caries risk assessment, caries preventive measures, introduction to periodontal disease, dental stains, and management of xerostomia, halitosis, and dentinal sensitivity, oral healthcare products and how to care for an oral appliance. The student will subsequently apply course concepts to facilitate patient behavior change in the clinical setting.
