"Mugs & Drugs"

“Mugs and Drugs":
A Look at Today’s Counter-Culture Trends and
Their Impact on Health”

PRESENTED BY:
ISU GRADUATE BETSY REYNOLDS, RDH, MS

SPONSORED BY
UPPER SNAKE RIVER DENTAL SOCIETY

This course is designed to give participants an understanding of the impact certain counter-cultural trends have on health care delivery. Head and neck piercings, their healing dynamics and possible impact on oral structures will be discussed utilizing case studies to enhance learning. The faces (‘mugs’) of today’s counter-cultural movement come with a set of treatment variables not commonly encountered. Recognizing substance and self-abuse patterns will aid professionals in recognizing potentially life-threatening behaviors. Abuse of ‘drugs’—including alcohol, methamphetamine, over-the-counter remedies, and prescription medication—by today’s patient has high impact on the delivery of health services. This course will provide participants with the necessary resources to recognize, treat and provide supportive services for patients abusing drugs. Come prepared to learn in an environment that is relaxed and conducive to audience participation.
