Treatment decisions are made in consultation with the patient to ensure they are right for them. He loves dentistry and is constantly pursuing continuing education as both a teacher and a student. He combines today’s advanced dentistry with old-fashioned relationships. Our name is on the business because it is our family taking care of yours. When Dr. Hamel is not practicing at the office\, he is a volunteer\, active in the community\, a public speaker\, an avid participant in organized dentistry\, and helps his aging father. Dr. Hamel loves spending time with his grandsons and traveling with his wife. He also delights in the technical precision of racing cars and finds sheer joy in competing for plastic trophies. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the scope of the addiction problem and the dentist’s role in its prevention.\nRecognize the signs and symptoms of addiction.\nIdentify unique risk factors for dentists.\nAccess resources for addiction treatment and support\, as well as resources to improve personal mental health and well-being.\n\nCE Hours: 2
