Ward Perio Hygiene Collaborative
Continuing Education
The Ward Periodontics Team is passionate about staying current on the latest dental topics and research, promoting new ideas, and putting forward-thinking, evidence-based practices in motion. We also love working with other dental teams to provide outstanding care to our mutual patients. We believe that collaborative care between dental professionals truly provides patients with the highest level of care achievable. Dr. Ward had a vision for a meeting of dental professionals emphasizing our commitment to collaborative care, and promoting the spirit of life-long learning among members of our local community. As a result, the Ward Perio Hygiene Collaborative was born.
Our continuing education group is open to all dental team members. We promote collaborative learning and we hope to foster relationships between dental professionals in our community through this process. We strive for an open environment of professional respect where questions and feedback are welcomed and encouraged. Our goal is to provide ongoing, high quality dental continuing education close to home regarding current and relevant topics.

Advance your Hygiene Performance:
Comprehensive Perio Workshop & Team Protocol Development
Your patients are unique. Your team is unique.
Your perio protocol should be too.
Join us for a one-of-a-kind comprehensive perio workshop. Our expert clinical guidance and perio systems coaching is uniquely tailored to help you and your team develop a customized protocol that will help you:
– Schedule smarter and maximize production
– Reduce amount of outsourced cases
– Create customized standards for your team
– Develop verbal skills & increase case acceptance
Over the course of this 2 day workshop, we will walk through every part of your ideal hygiene perio protocol, and help you develop a framework to implement it with your team.
Our workshop is designed with a whole-team approach in mind. We will help you and your team create a collaborative, team-based approach to patient care that begins with the diagnosis process, and transitions smoothly from hygienist to doctor to admin through seamless handoffs.
This workshop is highly individualized to meet the needs of your team. Because of this we are only able to accept a limited amount of teams per workshop.
Next workshop date(s): TBD
