Calibration Exercises for Faculty:

• Have the entire faculty complete the water flossing self-study: WATERPIK is an approved AGD PACE provider, and all team members will receive 3 free CEU’s when they submit the post-test.  
• Beginning in 2025 we will offer faculty training which will highlight the most current scientific evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of water flossing, and we will describe how to integrate water flossing into the classroom and clinic.
