“(Don’t) take it on the run, baby!” Illicit drugs, licit drugs used illicitly, and management of substance use disorder
Tom Viola is a fan favorite at RDH Under One Roof and among hygienists. He’s been teaching hygienists pharmacology for 30 years, making pharmacology practical and applicable for hygienists and their patients.
In his course he’ll talk about illicit drugs and substance use disorder, focusing on some of the “gas station” drugs you can buy that are mood-altering as well as OTC drugs that people are using for their hallucinogenic potential.
How do these drugs affect your dental treatment planning? Come to the course and find out!
Tom believes hygienists are the heart and soul of the dental office—they’re in a unique position to have frank conversations with patients about what they’re taking.
