Orofacial Recovery Certificate Program is Open for Enrollment

The first interprofessional continuing education program of its kind, developed by Rebecka Clark, a dual-licensed RDH and LMT who developed the modality after suffering with her own oral surgery recovery. This unique certificate brings together dental hygienists, dentists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, physicians, massage therapists, speech-language pathologists, and other licensed professionals to work collaboratively to close a care gap.

The Overlooked Provider in Patient-Centered Care

Why It’s Time to Include Dental Hygienists

Often mischaracterized as being on the job trained to provide dental cleanings, dental hygienists are, in fact, highly trained, licensed, preventive specialists with extensive education in systemic health, behavioral health, patient assessment & education, and therapeutic care. Their exclusion from collaborative care models is a missed opportunity for more effective, prevention-centered healthcare.
