CBD-Is There a New “Snake Oil” Among Us?
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Cannabis was legalized for medical use in California in 1976 and to date there are 47 states that have legalized some form of cannabis. Medical marijuana sales grossed 4.5 billion dollars in the United States in the year of 2018. There is still controversy surrounding cannabis but there are many reports stating that cannabis forms like cannabidiol (CBD), may be a magical elixir that can cure many alignments and help with a number of diseases. This course will investigate what is cannabis, the different forms of cannabis that people are using, especially concentrating on CBD oil and why people are using it. We will uncover some of the issues that these substances may have on the oral cavity and on our patient’s overall health. Is CBD oil a miracle drug or “Snake Oil”?

The Golden Years
COURSE DESCRIPTION
According to the United States Census, the number of people age 65 and older in the year 2015 was 47.8 million. The projected population in 2060 is 98.2 million and within this number 19.7 million will be age 85 or older. These staggering statistics will definitely impact our health care system. The elderly population is living longer so medical and dental health care will be necessary for these individuals. Dental professionals are very familiar that there is a link between oral health and systemic health. This is especially important when it comes to the elderly segment of the population. As dental professionals, we need to realize and understand the struggles that these special people are encountering and how we can assist and support them in their “Golden Years.”
Objectives
Understanding of:
- What are the “Golden Years”?
- Explore the issues that these seasoned individuals encounter
- Investigate potential resources
- Dental professionals will have a better understanding of these issues so can best serve their patients during their “Golden Years”
