Cannabinoids and the Dental Patient

According to Health Canada’s 2022 Canadian Cannabis Survey, 27% of people aged 16 years and older reported having used cannabis in the past 12 months, an increase from 25% in the previous survey cycle.

In this video, Dr. Mark Donaldson, an Assistant Principal at Vizient Solutions, discusses the oral health implications of cannabinoid use and highlights some key considerations in managing dental patients who use cannabis.

In January 2024, Dr. Donaldson will host an in-person CE Category 1 course titled Medical Cannabinoids – What the Practicing Dentist Needs to Know at the Kingston and District Dental Society and the Muskoka-Simcoe Dental Society. Please see registration links below.
