Eating Disorder Awareness in Dentistry

Jen Charbonneau has been a registered dental hygienist for 20 years. She is a recognized speaker by the ODHA Professional Development Task Force. More importantly, Jen is a survivor of Bulimia, a life threatening eating disorder. Having been aware of the oral implications of eating disorders for years encouraged Jen to create a workshop specifically to help dental professionals realize their role in this area.

Eating disorders are a silent epidemic. The earliest symptoms of an eating disorder manifest themselves orally. Dental professionals are perfectly positioned to see evidence in the oral cavity every day.

Would you know what to look for?
What about the subtle signs?
Do you realize what this means for this patient's oral cavity 5 years from now?
Did you know 10-20% of sufferers die either from the physical consequences or as a result of suicide?
Did you know that other health care professionals will often turn to dentists/hygienists to confirm their suspicions?

Dynamic Interative Presentation for Dental Professionals covers:

Types of Eating Disorders/Issues
Recognition of Signs and Symptoms
Predisposing Factors/Causes
Who's at Risk?
Your professional role/responsibility
Treatment options
Prevention Strategies
Case Study Review
