There is something special about stepping away from our everyday routines and learning alongside others in person!

Being together gives us the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, practise new skills and connect with colleagues who understand the work we do. We leave with more than new information. We return to practice feeling refreshed, inspired and ready to implement what we have learned.

This fall, we have three unique in-person learning experiences planned for Ontario dental hygienists and dental teams and we would love to have you join us!

Meet Me at the Winery™: Oral Probiotics Edition
Friday, September 18 | Ridge Road Estate Winery, Stoney Creek

Join us for an amazing afternoon of learning, conversation and connection in a beautiful winery setting. We will explore the science and clinical application of oral probiotics while earning two hours of continuing education.

I will also share how oral probiotics can support both patient care and practice growth as we look at the Before, During and After Experience of the patient journey.

Whether you offer oral probiotics directly in your practice or refer patients to purchase them elsewhere, you will discover case studies, practical strategies and ready-to-use tools that you can begin implementing on Monday morning.

Your reservation is only $29 (Regular $199 – thank you to BioGaia for sponsoring this special event)

In-Person IPAC Course
Saturday, September 26 | 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. | rdhu, Burlington

Strengthen your understanding of infection prevention and control through a practical, in-person learning experience. This is a valuable opportunity for individual clinicians or dental teams who want to feel more confident applying current IPAC principles in everyday practice.

The Modern Practice Experience™
Friday, October 30 | Dentsply Sirona Academy, Toronto

Our boutique conference is designed for the entire dental team and centres around one important theme:

Building Stronger Teams. Smarter Systems. Better Patient Care.

Spend the day learning, connecting and exploring practical strategies that will support a more collaborative, efficient and patient-centred practice.

Each of these experiences offers something different, but they all share the same purpose: to create meaningful opportunities for learning, connection and professional growth.

If you have been looking for a reason to step away from the operatory, reconnect with colleagues and bring fresh ideas back to your practice, we hope you will join us this fall.

Because when we learn together, we grow together.
