NJDHA’s Garden State Conference
October 14-15, 2010 - Somerset DoubleTree in Somerset NJ
This year, the featured Speaker will be award-winning Anne Guignon, RDH, MPH. You’ve seen her articles in RDH magazine and heard from her on Amy’s List, now you can attend two of her courses right here in NJ! Anne will join us through a generous educational grant from SDS Orascoptic and other corporate sponsors.
Thursday night
Breakthrough Biofilm Concepts - Dealing with Mother Nature's Microbial Masterpieces: Biofilms are complex polymicrobial communities that contribute to many chronic diseases, including periodontal disease and caries. Biofilms play a significant role in the development of chronic wounds, delayed wound healing and persistent re-infections and resist traditional antibiotic therapy. New combination therapies are emerging that treat Mother Nature’s most unique microbial challenges.
Friday afternoon
Soft Drink Junkies - Teeth, Bones and Body Fat: Soft drinks are a regular staple in many diets. Popular drinks like soda pop, refrigerated teas, energy and sports drinks are fast tracking Americans into diseases that will haunt them for a lifetime. Come learn the how and why these beverages are contributing directly to the epidemics of diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, caries and debilitating tooth hypersensitivity. Discover which beverages are safe, which ones to avoid and how to combat their erosive potential.
