SUMMARY:Webinar - Understanding the Complexities of the Brain During Oral Hygiene Instruction
DESCRIPTION:By understanding how the brain takes in information\, develops new habits and goals\, and deals with stress\, we can accomplish significantly better oral home care routines with our patients. When we deliver home care instructions aimed at memory retention and motivation\, using evidence-based behavioral change frameworks\, and having knowledge of a broad range of oral homecare tools to recommend\, we can truly see the change to healthy gums.
