Presentation on preventive treatments and how risk factors impact care

You’ll have the opportunity to develop essential knowledge about the prevention of oral diseases. You’ll also develop key skills such as communication and empathy which will enable you to tailor preventive advice to the individual needs of the patients, taking into consideration any cultural and religious beliefs. You’ll learn to adapt to any patient-reported anxieties within this module and you’ll be introduced to the underpinning ethos that prevention is better than cure, and that on the whole dental diseases are largely preventable.
