Join us for a fast‑paced, practical continuing education session designed for dental teams. Dentin hypersensitivity is common in everyday practice yet often under‑recognized. We’ll translate the science into actionable chairside workflows your team can use immediately, with clear talking points for patient education and product selection.
By the end of the session, your team will be able to:
- Explain DH prevalence and impact — Review how frequently DH presents across populations and why it’s frequently underdiagnosed, drawing on recent multi‑country data and validated quality‑of‑life measures used in DH research.
- Describe the mechanisms and causes — Connect lesion localization (enamel/gingival wear), common stimuli (thermal, tactile, osmotic, evaporative), and the hydrodynamic theory to what patients feel—so you can differentiate DH from other pain sources quickly.
- Match solutions to mechanisms — Link tubule occlusion to stannous fluoride (SnF₂) technologies and nerve desensitization to potassium nitrate (KNO₃), and know when to recommend each.
- Confidently guide at‑home care — Use evidence‑based counseling tips and US‑relevant formulations (KNO₃ and SnF₂) to craft step‑wise plans patients can follow.
- Identify in‑office options & follow‑ups — Integrate DH assessment scales, documentation, and recall protocols to monitor relief and reinforce behavior change.
