Continuing Education For Speakers

Green dentistry is a hot topic!

If you are an expert in a particular aspect of dentistry, whether infection control, dental practice management, or a dental specialty, and you’d like to incorporate a "green” angle, the EDA can help!

As a professional speaker, you make a living on your credibility and knowledge of the subjects you present.

Green dentistry is much more than turning off lights and going paperless. It’s a model of practice that serves a unique consumer base. You’ll want to bring the same commitment to green dentistry credibility that you bring to your area of specialty.

For best results, become an EDA Certified Speaker. You’ll gain a solid foundation in green dentistry, support in crafting your presentations from experts in green dentistry, and we’ll help promote you and your upcoming events.

Going green isn’t hard, but there are important standards and best practices to keep in mind. It’s important that all educators in our industry are promoting best practices that are safe for patients, good for the dental practice, and that meet the needs of the green dental consumer.

Remember these helpful guidelines when presenting about green dentistry:

• Include the EDA’s definition of green dentistry. It’s the industry standard and will provide a solid foundation for the rest of your presentation.

• You won’t have all the answers. Be sure to refer participants to www.ecodentistry.org.

• Use the EDA website to gain a solid grounding in the benefits and philosophy of green dentistry prior to your presentation.

• Request EDA Speaker Slides on a variety of topics.

• Be sure to reference the EDA when using information from our slides or website.

• Include EDA applications and brochures in your hand-outs. Contact us for free brochures.
