CE Hours
Dental clinicians are often one of the first to identify a patient at risk of the harmful effects of an oral-systemic acidic environment. Having the opportunity to find these presentations early puts us in a opportunistic position to help our patients not only identify and manage oral complications of acid erosion but also encourage them to take steps to heal the rest of their body. This course will provide insightful pearls on identifying, educating, and treating patients with acid erosion.

- Understand the etiologies of dental acid erosion
- Explain to patients the potential underlying systemic conditions associated with dental acid erosion
- Discuss unexpected low pH levels of certain foods and drinks with patients
