Gain knowledge from top-notch speakers and insights you can actually use the moment you get back. As a bonus, you’ll also get to soak up the sun, dip your toes in crystal-clear waters, and network with peers—all while getting a healthy dose of that island breeze. Family & friends are welcome to this work-cation!

So, pack your sunscreen and your thirst for knowledge. Join us for a few days of discovery, learning, and a well-deserved relaxation—and leave feeling refreshed, motivated, and ready to take your business to the next level!

“CE on The Beach™ is about more than just gaining knowledge—it’s about creating immersive learning experiences that inspire growth, foster discovery, and build memories and leave you with tools and insights that will stay with you long after you leave the island.” — Minal Sampat, Founder of CE on The Beach™

Management of acute odontogenic pain is accomplished through a clinical approach that successfully incorporates both opioid and non- opioid analgesics.

This program will provide an overview of techniques for effectively assessing and managing dental pain, appropriately prescribing analgesics, educating patients on adverse effects and proper handling of opioid medications, as well as strategies for identifying patients at risk for substance abuse, and counseling patients on agents used in the management and treatment of opioid use disorder.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the pharmacology and mechanism of action of opioid and non-opioid analgesics.
  • Explain the intended role of opioid and non- opioid analgesics in the management of acute dental pain, as well as situations which may preclude their use, based on a patient’s underlying medical conditions.
