Vaping Webinar Extended

Dental hygienists are well positioned to elevate public awareness of vaping risks and its impact on oral and overall health. To continue supporting you in that effort, we have extended access to our vaping webinar, sponsored by Philips, until May 1, 2022. We will also open registration later this month for an interactive virtual vaping workshop, which will give you the necessary tools to enhance your client education on this topic. Be sure to watch the vaping webinar first to provide you with foundational knowledge prior to attending the workshop.
