Hello DH 2 Students, I hope you are having a good fall & are getting back into learning! All students are required to be set up in the Cisco Unity Student Voicemail Message System (see attached document for details). Please send me your personal cell phone number by next week Friday October 17, 2025. How the system will work is your patients will call the student voicemail number, enter your student voicemail ID number, and leave you a voice message. You will then receive a notification on your cell phone that you have a message. The system is in place to protect student confidentiality and for ease of patient communication. Please send me your personal cell phone number by next week Friday October 17, 2025. Thank you!

Clinical Updates - 6 October 2025
by Trenna Reeve 05 Oct '25

05 Oct '25

Dental Hygiene and Dental Students, Updates as follows: 1. For insurance pre-authorizations (CDCP, Blue Cross, NIHB etc.) you must indicate if a planned crown/denture is "Initial Placement". If not the initial placement, the PCCs need to know approximately when the initial was placed in order to submit the pre-authorization. If this detail is not included in the pre-authorization request it will be denied and returned requesting this information. Add these details to EHR notes when treatment planning is most helpful. You can also include the details in your email request for pre-authorization submission. 2. HC FUND Form * If you want to request the Exam and X-rays to be covered, you must include their codes and fees in the HC Form. * You must list all treatment codes, sites and associated cost in the HC Form. It is most helpful to list as follows: * 23 33111 one canal root canal $xxx.xx * 23 27201 ACC crown $xxx.xx * When calculating the Total Cost requested for the HCFUND, include all costs for the listed treatment. If the patient has CDCP coverage, calculate the co-pay amount. * Only treatment included under the CDCP Fee Guide that meets CDCP eligibility criteria and frequency limits is considered. 3. There is a new Screening Template Note to be used in axiUm going forward. Located under D3X5 (3rd year) and D4X5 (4th year). 4. Radiology Request Form - you must close the requisition for radiographs REQ ---> FIN (page 71-73 in axiUm orientation manual) 5. Ensure you are checking in and checking out your patients when seated and dismissed- it is students responsibility to do so as they are in constant communication with their patient, as well as for safety reasons (mentioned in Patient Management Orientation). Part time instructors have mentioned this helps them monitor which students to check in with first. And this is mandatory in case of a fire drill all people must be accounted for and we use axium to track this. 6. Students are not allowed to delete treatment that is put in EHR. A patient's chart is a legal documentation - correct process is to submit correction card for it. (page 74 in axiUm orientation manual and page 36 in Patient Management Orientation) 7. Students are coming into PCCs windows with their masks under their chin. They touch their masks many times when by the window. Masks should be removed before exiting the unit followed by hand sanitizing. PCCs will be noting when students come to the front desk with masks on and breaches will be followed up. 8. Students must check SAP coverage for their patient prior to booking their patient's appointment. Have a great week ahead. Dr. Reeve Trenna M.

Albendazole for Humans
by dr.james971＠gmail.com 30 Sep '25

30 Sep '25

Albendazole is a widely used antiparasitic medication that plays a vital role in treating various worm infections in humans. It belongs to the benzimidazole class of drugs and is highly effective in eliminating intestinal and tissue-dwelling parasites. By interfering with the parasites’ ability to absorb glucose, Albendazole causes them to lose energy, eventually leading to their death and removal from the body. This medicine is prescribed for several parasitic infections, including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and pinworms. It is also effective against more complex conditions such as hydatid disease caused by tapeworm cysts and neurocysticercosis, a serious infection of the nervous system triggered by pork tapeworm larvae. In many cases, Albendazole is preferred due to its broad spectrum of activity and relatively simple dosing regimen. The dosage of Albendazole depends on the type of infection being treated. For common intestinal worms, a single dose may be sufficient, while more severe infections may require extended courses. It is often taken with fatty foods to improve absorption. Doctors may adjust the dosage depending on the patient’s age, weight, and overall health. Albendazole is generally well tolerated, but mild side effects such as nausea, abdominal pain, headache, or dizziness may occur. Rarely, prolonged use can affect liver function or blood cell counts, so monitoring may be required in long-term treatments. For individuals in areas where parasitic infections are common, Albendazole provides an essential tool in reducing worm-related illness. However, it should only be taken under medical supervision to ensure safe and effective treatment. With its proven efficacy, Albendazole remains one of the most important medicines in combating parasitic diseases worldwide. Visit: https://www.medzsupplier.com/product/albendazole-australia/
