Our next class is approaching and this one will be VIRTUAL! Grab a coffee and stay in your jammie’s if you’d like! We will have door prize opportunities as we always do! 🥳 This is a 2 hour class with Heather Wong, RDH, MSDH. Heather Wong, RDH, MSDH This course emphasizes the critical role of patient collaboration in achieving true preventive outcomes as a priority for health. Dental professionals must go beyond clinical recommendations to understand the psychology of behavior change and how the brain processes information. By exploring an evidence-based, 7-step protocol, attendees can strategically implement a preventive approach into current workflow during continuing care appointments. We will explore identity, assessment, motivation, training, environment, planning, and evaluation as a comprehensive path to lasting change. Heather Wong, RDH, MSDH has been the Professional Relations Manager for TePe Oral Health Care for 6 years. She has over 11 years’ experience working clinically as a hygienist in both periodontal and general practices. Heather has been adjunct faculty at both Pacific University and Pasadena Community College, where she currently serves on the advisory board. She has served and supported the American Dental Hygienists’ Association at both the state and local levels as Treasurer, Trustee, and as a delegate, as well as a member of the CDHA. Heather has presented CE lectures with dental hygiene associations (state and national), Western Society of Periodontology, California Society of Periodontology, ADHA, and many webinars with TePe. Her research is focused on homecare and habit formation.
