• Have you ever had to face the prospect of treating a medically-complex patient? 
• Are there patients in your practice with more than one underlying chronic disease?
• Does it worry you when a patient is taking several herbal or nutriceutical products?
• Remember that diabetic patient you had last week who was also on a blood thinner.  Should have yave stopped their anticoagulant?
• Was it wise to give that after-hours emergency patient with cardiac issues a postoperative antibiotic prescription? 

Providing dental care to anxious, fearful and medically-complex patients continues to be a major challenge facing dentists.  Despite advances in management techniques and treatment delivery, patients' preexisting opinions and experiences contribute to dental anxiety, fear and avoidance.  Feelings of apprehension create psychological obstacles that prevent dental patients from seeking and receiving care and once they do, the dentist is then faced with treating their oral health needs in the face of multiple chronic diseases, medications and herbal supplements.  

This interactive program looks at some of the most common disease states, drugs, herbals and interactions and their management with a particular focus on the dental realm.  Case studies will augment the delivery of key points and a problem-based learning approach is encouraged so that each participant's questions are addresssed.
