SUMMARY:Webinar: Dental Emergencies in Correctional Settings
DESCRIPTION:Dental issues are common complaints in corrections and can be painful and dangerous. Left untreated\, they can lead to serious health complications\, disrupt facility operations\, and increase the burden on both medical and security staff. This session provides practical guidance for correctional health professionals on recognizing and responding to urgent dental concerns. Learn about the prevalence and impact of common dental emergencies\, from severe pain and swelling to infections that can compromise breathing. Discover how early intervention\, triage\, and communication among medical\, dental\, and security teams can reduce risk\, improve patient outcomes\, and ease operational strain. You’ll leave better prepared to support timely\, coordinated care—even when dental providers aren’t immediately available. \n1.00 hours of CE for ACCME\, ANCC\, APA\, and general. \n$69 ($59 for CCHPs)\, includes access to the power point presentation\, the webinar recording and CE credit \nPresenter: \nDr. Heather Koroma has been a licensed general dentist and correctional health professional for more than seven years. Before returning to private practice recently\, she oversaw the oral health of patients at the Dallas County Jail\, the second-largest jail in Texas\, and at the South Louisiana Ice Processing Center in Basile\, Louisiana. In 2024\, she was honored with the Young Professional of the Year Award by the NCCHC\, recognizing her ongoing advocacy for oral health among vulnerable populations in her community. \nLearn more/Register
