About the Program
Dentistry has changed so much in the last decade. One thing that has not
changed much is a patient’s perception of dental treatments as being
painful. When using Low Level Laser devices on patients, you can reduce
or eliminate inflammation and pain, speed healing and relax muscles. At
the same time, you can demonstrate how much you care about your
patient. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is quickly becoming an established
tool in many dental practices. Its use can enhance your clinical
treatments and boost patient satisfaction. The course will focus on the
theory and clinical applications of LLLT. In this programme there will be
a hands-on demonstration.
What you will learn
● How to speed the healing of wounds while decreasing pain and
inflammation;
● Treat and prevent oral lesions, including denture sores, apthous ulcers
and herpes lesions

About the Program
Investors who — spooked by market uncertainty — run to “safe” investments,
often do themselves more harm than good. This informative seminar
will help you maximize your potential for returns and still sleep
soundly at night. Learn why adding some riskier investments to your
portfolio can actually reduce overall risk … why jumping in and out of the
market seldom reduces risk … why putting your portfolio on “automatic”
may beat actively managing it … and much more. Using real life examples
– including insightful references to recent market events – seminar
leader Michael Holmes will help attendees learn to use “risk” to their
advantage. Includes a question and answer session.
