September 14 CE Class

Susan Clark, RDHEF, will present "Xylitol; The Next Frontier In Our Fight Against Dental Decay"

We have the technology and products available for our patients to develop lifelong strategies for maintaining good oral health, but still they are getting tooth decay and gum disease. Getting our patients to avoid sweet between meal snacks and brush after every meal and floss every day is a lost cause. So what is the alternative?

Susan is a native New Yorker who resides in Temecula, California. She has Associate Degrees in Humanities, Dental Hygiene and is a Myofunctional Orofacial Therapist. Most recently, she has taken a position as the West Coast Regional Product Educator for Xlear, Inc.; the leading manufacturer of xylitol dental defense products.
