Free CE Webinar: Clostridium difficile: Dentistry's
Overlooked Threat
Dear Colleague,
In recognition of November C. difficile Awareness
Month, we invite you to join us for a free
continuing education webinar led by our Chief
Education Officer, Dr. Kirsten Roling. After surviving a
life-threatening Clostridium difficile infection following a
periodontal procedure, Dr. Roling is sounding the alarm on an
urgent public health threat that is often under-recognized by the
dental profession.
Clostridium difficile (CDI) continues to
challenge infection control across healthcare settings, including
dental practices. Each year, 500,000
Americans contract CDI, and tragically, it claims the
lives of 30,000 (15% within the first 30
days). With antibiotic resistance on the
rise, one-third of these deaths are linked to infections that no
longer respond to treatment. Dental professionals play a crucial
role in preventing CDI through infection control and proper
antibiotic stewardship.
