Clinic Update - 14 September 2026
by Trenna Reeve 13 Sep '26

13 Sep '26

Dental and Dental Hygiene Students, It has been a busy start to the new academic year which is great to see. A couple of points to pass along to help keep you all on track: 1. Rotation schedule - the rotation schedule is a live document; there will be changes to it as the year progresses. It is your responsibility to check the rotation schedule at least on a weekly basis. If there are any last-minute changes (within the week) then Kat will send you an email to update you. If it is more than a week out, then an email will NOT be sent as the expectation is that you are checking the schedule regularly. 2. Treatment plans - DO NOT copy and paste treatment plans from last year or treatment plans that were not made by you. 3. Hygiene treatment - not all patients have been assigned to hygiene students yet. We are working on setting up a designation in axium so it will be clear which patients are being held for hygiene student assignment, and which will be for the dental student to complete. For now the expectation is for the dental student to check: * SPT - if hygiene student completed the last SPT then it will remain with hygiene students * NPP- confirm with your PCC, anything complex perio will be held for dental hygiene students - they require this for their requirements so please do not proceed 4. Hygiene recall exams - if a dental student completes a CTP, or treatment plan update, or treatment plan update no charge, the dental student needs to request open access to the patient's chart and the procedure code needs to be under the dental student. The hygiene student completes the interprofessional note, the dental student completes the treatment plan, and a general referral is sent to reception if there are treatment needs. 5. It is the student's responsibility to confirm and know what the patient's insurance coverage is and communicate that with the patient. If you are unsure then discuss this with your PCC BEFORE your patient's appointment. For example CDCP covers 1 recall exam per 12 months - you need to know when this was last charged out so that you can follow this schedule and/or communicate with your patients when treatment may or will not be covered. Treatment costs cannot be a surprise to your patients - communicate. 6. Make sure you are updating axium when you have seated your patient and when you have dismissed your patient from the clinic. In case of an emergency we need to know exactly who is and is not in the clinic at any given time. 7. Ensure you are following IPAC protocol. Hand hygiene audits are underway. Any severe breaches may impact your ability to work in the clinic environment. Keep yourself and your patients safe. Have a great week. Trenna M. Reeve DMD, ABGD Assistant Professor Associate Dean (Clinics) Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry Rady Faculty of Health Sciences University of Manitoba [1578502983199] Clinical Support Services D227-A-780 Bannatyne Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba R3E 0W2 email: Trenna.Reeve(a)umanitoba.ca Tel: 1-204-272-3194<tel:1-204-272-3194>

D4 Nitrous Oxide Training Opportunity
by Trenna Reeve 11 Sep '26

11 Sep '26

D4 students, There is an opportunity for a very limited number of D4 students to receive didactic and hands on training in nitrous oxide sedation. This training is outside of what is required through the D4 curriculum and would take place over a weekend in October or November 2026. If you are interested in this training, please send me an email and detail why you need this training specifically. There will be only a few spots available so preference would be placed on students who can demonstrate how this training will benefit their current patient pool (chart number), perhaps if you are going to a clinic after you graduate that has this capacity (office name), or you will be attending a GDR program where this is a pre-requisite (name of program). Essentially if you cannot demonstrate that you WILL be using this type of sedation within the next 12 months, then there is no value to you to take this course now. Pre-emptively taking this course because you think you may need it when you graduate will not help you. The certification will expire, and you will need to redo the training. Please submit your email of interest and collaborative information to me by 15 September 2026. Regards, Trenna M. Reeve DMD, ABGD Assistant Professor Associate Dean (Clinics) Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry Rady Faculty of Health Sciences University of Manitoba [1578502983199] Clinical Support Services D227-A-780 Bannatyne Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba R3E 0W2 email: Trenna.Reeve(a)umanitoba.ca Tel: 1-204-272-3194<tel:1-204-272-3194>
