Clicking Jaws Hygiene C.E. Night

(RE)VOLUTIONIZE NIGHT
A New Year, and more learning. Take a break from Skiing and Snowboarding (yeah, I don’t do that either) and find out why your patient has TMJ sounds and disfunction. 

It is exciting to start a new year of learning. Every year you know more than the last year and you are excited to see what this year has for you in store.

Why the click?
Jaw function is something most take for granted. But not all patients can ‘OPEN WIDE’ or not have jaw joint clicks and jaw pain. Learn why your patient is suffering and how important that click is anyway. While a joint is a joint, the TMJ is special and unique. Find out why. You care can change lives!

In a fun, interactive, and interesting way, Dr. Westersund will teach you how to be a better and informed healthcare provider for your patients.

Have a fun presentation, and be the informed hygienist for the patients you treat.

LOCATION

Hyo Maier Centre for Dental Excellence
115 17 Ave Sw, Calgary, AB T2S 0A1
Dinner included (in person only).
5:30pm – 8:00pm

Registration fees: $25 ONLINE

The Limitless Dentist
From Blueprint to Breakthrough: Turning Vision Into Reality – Session 1

Dentistry today requires more than clinical skills—it’s about vision, leadership, and building a business that supports the life you want. Join Dr. Khanna, dentist, entrepreneur, and innovator, for a  transformational journey to help you think bigger, lead stronger, and achieve more.

Dr. Khanna is a seasoned clinician and multi-practice owner with 18+ years in  complex care (implants, grafting, sedation, and sleep medicine), and the CEO & Co-founder of OraQ AI, an award-winning dental tech startup recognized by Google for Startups, Calgary’s Top 10 Startups, and Inventures’ 2024 Outstanding Digital Health
Company. Backed by over $5M in investment and grants, OraQ has forged partnerships with Patterson Dental and the University of the Pacific, positioning it at the forefront of AI in dentistry. His journey—losing his clinic in Calgary’s 2013 flood, then rebuilding and scaling to lead innovation— shows what’s possible, and why he’s uniquely positioned to teach dentists and business owners how to turn vision into
reality.

QUESTIONS Hygiene C.E. Night

(RE)INVIGORATE NIGHT
The final night of the series (till September) this is going to be a free for all evening where we discuss the multiple ways a patient presents at your hygiene chair and why. We will even discuss your own dental or jaw functional issues.
We will also be talking about communication in the Dental Office and how
it can be improved. You do have control and you can make a difference.

WHY DOES MY PATIENT HAVE THIS PROBLEM?
Jaw function is something most take for granted. But not all patients can ‘OPEN WIDE’ or not have jaw joint clicks and jaw pain. Learn why your patient is suffering and how important that click is anyway. While a joint is a joint, the TMJ is special and unique. Find out why. You care can change lives!
