ACDE Webinar | Medical Cannabis and the Dental Patient

Despite advances in legal and social acceptance, much remains unknown about the impact of cannabis consumption on general and oral health. As oral health is integral to overall health, you must become knowledgeable—not only about the effects of cannabis on the oral cavity—but also about how your patients use cannabis to manage medical conditions, including chronic pain and/or anxiety. Learn about the medical indications and oral implications of cannabis use to better facilitate person-centered care for this growing patient population.
