General Health Screening
Incorporating general health screening into your Oral Health Optimisation treatment
Total Health Screens
The Contemporary Hygienist has teamed up with Total Health Screens to offer you courses on general health screening in the dental practice and support you in incorporating health screens into your hygiene department. This course explains how general health screening in practice can complement Oral Health Optimisation
Why start today?
Because systemic health and oral health is so well linked. We are extremely well placed as dental professionals, to be able to spot anomalies and refer our patients to the right healthcare providers. It can also complement our treatment in the quest to achieve optimal oral health, especially as some risk factors are systemically derived. Stabilise these and we are much more likely to be help our patients reach oral health optimisation.

- Recognise the value of health screening for oral health optimisation
