Course Description:

Protecting your dental license requires more than clinical excellence. It demands a strong understanding of ethical obligations, legal responsibilities, and risk management. In this interdisciplinary course, you will get dual viewpoints from a registered dental hygienist who teaches ethics and jurisprudence as well as an attorney to discuss the professional standards and best practices that help safeguard your license. This course reviews common liability risks, documentation pitfalls, and behaviors that can either protect or expose dental professionals and their patients to legal action. Participants will leave with practical strategies to reduce risk, strengthen compliance, and confidently navigate today's evolving healthcare environment.

Objectives:

By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to: 

• Identify ethical, jurisprudence, and professional practice standards that help protect a dental professional's license.
• Recognize common legal and documentation pitfalls that increase liability risk for dental providers and patients.
• Apply practical risk management strategies to improve documentation, communication, and clinical decision-making while reducing professional liability.
