Live Dental CE Opportunities This Week
Here are the live dental CE webinars happening August 31–September 6, 2026.
Advancing Xerostomia Care: The Role of Molecular Iodine Oral Rinses in Treatment and Management
Date: Monday, August 31, 2026
Time: 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT
Format: Virtual, Live Interactive Webinar
Credits: 1 CEU
Presenter: Dr. Kirsten Roling, DDS
Sponsor: ioTech International
Dry mouth can create challenges that extend far beyond patient discomfort. Reduced salivary flow can affect oral tissues, increase disease risk, and make it more difficult for patients to maintain a healthy oral environment.
This live dental CE webinar examines xerostomia and the potential role of molecular iodine oral rinses in its treatment and management. Dr. Kirsten Roling will review the causes, symptoms, and complications associated with dry mouth while exploring the antimicrobial properties of molecular iodine and how they may be incorporated into patient care.
Participants will gain practical strategies for identifying xerostomia, educating patients about its oral health effects, and developing treatment protocols designed to improve comfort and reduce complications associated with dry mouth.
What you'll learn:
- Common causes, symptoms, and complications of xerostomia
- How reduced salivary function affects oral health
- The antimicrobial properties of molecular iodine
- How molecular iodine oral rinses may be used in xerostomia management
- Strategies for incorporating rinses into patient care
- Approaches for reducing dry mouth symptoms
- Methods for improving patient comfort
- Ways to help reduce the risk of oral infections associated with xerostomia
This course is ideal for dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, dental therapists, and dental teams interested in xerostomia, preventive dentistry, oral medicine, and patient comfort.
The Reinvented Prophy: Elevating Evidence-Based, Biofilm-Focused Care
Date: Tuesday, September 1, 2026

Format: Virtual, Live Webinar
Credits: 1 CEU
Presenter: Katrina M. Sanders, MEd, BSDH, RDH, RF

The traditional prophylaxis appointment is often described simply as a "cleaning," but modern preventive dentistry requires a much broader understanding of biofilm, disease risk, patient behavior, and individualized care.
This live dental CE webinar challenges clinicians to rethink the traditional prophy appointment using an evidence-based, biofilm-focused approach. Katrina Sanders will explore how risk assessment, whole-mouth biofilm management, patient visualization, and personalized preventive recommendations can be incorporated into the hygiene visit.
Participants will learn practical ways to elevate preventive care while helping patients better understand the connection between biofilm management and long-term oral health.
What you'll learn:
- How to evaluate current prophylaxis workflows
- Evidence-based approaches to biofilm management
- Strategies for incorporating risk assessment into preventive care
- Whole-mouth approaches to reducing biofilm
- The importance of often-overlooked biofilm reservoirs
- Ways to personalize preventive recommendations
- Patient communication strategies that support better home care
- Technologies that can improve the hygiene appointment
- Techniques for improving the patient experience
- How hygienists can strengthen their role as preventive healthcare providers
This course is ideal for dental hygienists, dentists, dental assistants, and dental teams interested in preventive dentistry, biofilm management, periodontal health, and evidence-based hygiene protocols.
Nutrition and Oral Health: The Bi-Directional Link Driving the Oral Microbiome, Periodontal Outcomes and Healing

Nutrition influences far more than a patient's general health. Dietary patterns and nutritional deficiencies can affect the oral microbiome, periodontal tissues, inflammation, caries risk, wound healing, and the success of dental treatment.
This live dental CE webinar explores the two-way relationship between nutrition and oral health. Dr. Kirsten Roling will examine how dietary factors can contribute to oral disease while also discussing how oral health problems may affect a patient's nutritional status.
The course will also explore connections between nutrition and systemic conditions, helping dental professionals identify nutrition-related risk factors and incorporate simple screening and patient education strategies into everyday clinical care.
What you'll learn:
- The bi-directional relationship between nutrition and oral health
- How nutrition affects the integrity of oral tissues
- How oral disease can influence nutritional status
- The relationship between nutrition and the oral microbiome
- How dietary patterns may contribute to microbial dysbiosis
- Nutrients important for gingival health and collagen production
- How nutritional deficiencies may contribute to periodontal breakdown
- The role of nutrition in post-operative healing
- Nutritional considerations for extractions and dental implants
- Chairside strategies for identifying nutrition-related risk factors
This course is ideal for dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, dental therapists, and dental teams interested in preventive care, periodontal health, nutrition, oral-systemic health, and patient education.
Peri-Implantitis: What Your Patient Can Do to Avoid Losing the Implant — and What You Can Do to Avoid Losing the Patient

What you'll learn:
- Common causes of peri-implant disease
- Factors associated with dental implant failure
- The importance of maintaining healthy peri-implant tissues
- Office-based strategies for supporting implant health
