P.A.N.D.A., which stands for Prevent Abuse and Neglect through Dental Awareness, started in Missouri in 1992 to address the lack of child abuse reporting by dental professionals even though between 65-75% of all physical abuse involves injuries to the head, neck, and mouth. This course is designed to educate dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and others about the problems of child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, elder abuse and neglect, and human trafficking. This course aims to teach recognition of the indicators of abuse and neglect, inform about the legal and ethical responsibility in reporting and referring victims, and educate to become knowledgeable to recognize, report and refer.

Learning Objectives: 

• Upon completion of the Mid-Atlantic P.A.N.D.A. course, participants will be able to:
• Describe the background of abuse, bullying, and neglect and effects of maltreatment of children, adults, vulnerable adults, the elderly and trafficked victims.
• Distinguish findings of abuse and neglect, explain the oral health care provider’s role, ethical responsibilities in reporting, and identify when and how to refer to local and national agencies.

THE COMPLETE FACE: Botox Live Patient Training Certification Course (8 CEs) 

For dental practitioners who already own the lower third, training that stops at the forehead misses the mark. The Complete Face is the only Botox certification that covers the upper, middle, and lower face, along with masseter, temporalis, and TMJ indications — all in a single program. It’s built on established literature, facial anatomy, and contemporary evidence-based clinical practice. Not add-ons. Not shortcuts. The complete face. Unlike large-scale courses designed around volume, The Complete Face is intentionally built around clinical depth: live instruction, facial anatomy, treatment planning, dosing judgment, and one-on-one hands-on patient guidance. You’ll learn to evaluate the face through a sophisticated diagnostic lens — assessing asymmetries, understanding functional anatomy, and recognizing the muscular etiology behind each concern. Injection mapping and dosing are taught as clinical decisions guided by anatomy and judgment, not by a templated “dot equals dose” approach. One course. The complete face. No second level required.

At the completion of training, the participant should be able to:

• Recognize facial esthetic concerns that may be addressed with toxin treatment
• Discuss evidence-based toxin indications for TMD-related conditions
• Conduct a thorough patient consultation to assess suitability for tox treatment.
• Avoid, recognize and manage adverse events
• Demonstrate proper photographic and written documentation for tox treatment
