Cannabis & the Dental Practice
Tom Viola
Cannabis use is on the rise both in social and legal acceptance, but public health concerns regarding the use of cannabis remain, especially among dental professionals. This CE will give a broad overview for dental professionals to the pharmacology of cannabis, including its various dosage forms and types, routes of administration and adverse effects. Special emphasis will be placed on the effects of cannabis use on oral health and dental treatment, including clinical considerations such as adverse reactions, drug interactions and contraindications.
With over 30 years’ experience as a board-certified pharmacist, clinical educator, professional speaker and published author, Tom Viola, R.Ph., C.C.P. has earned his national and international reputation as the go-to specialist for making pharmacology practical and useful for all members of the dental team. As the founder of Pharmacology Declassified, Tom provides valuable insight on the complex interplay between pharmacology and physiology so that clinicians may be knowledgeable about not only the dental considerations of medications used to treat systemic illness but also the systemic considerations of medications used to provide dental treatment. As an educator, Tom is a member of the faculty of over 10 dental professional degree programs and has received several awards for outstanding teacher of the year. As an author, Tom is well known for his contributions to several professional journals, has served as a contributor, chapter author and peer reviewer for several pharmacology textbooks and currently serves as a consultant to the American Dental Association’s Council on Scientific Affairs.
