Leave a Comment / Opiate Crisis / By David Lambert

A recent cross-sectional analysis of IQVIA Longitudinal Prescription Data reveals a concerning increase in dental opioid prescribing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study, covering the period from 2016 to 2022, initially showed a 45% decrease in dental opioid prescriptions.

Socratic Dental Alliance Op Ed: Exposing False Narratives and Health Concerns of COVID Crisis

Leave a Comment / Public Policy / By David Lambert

We are fortunate as both clinicians and Americans to have a hero of exponential proportions amongst us. For those who have not heard of Dr. Peter McCullough, he is a practicing cardiologist, epidemiologist and internist. He is one of the most published cardiologists (over 1000 publications and 685 citations in the National Library of Medicine) …

The UK Personal Independence Payment Database – Should Spiraling Disabilities Give Pause To Reconsider Continued Routine Office Based Anesthesia In Dentistry Without Further Consideration?

Leave a Comment / Anesthesia, Sedation / By David Lambert

Former Blackrock hedge fund analyst Ed Dowd made a troubling discovery about mortality rates in the US. He observed an increase in deaths, particularly among young individuals, unrelated to COVID-19. Insurance companies also reported higher death rates. Dowd’s research team has now found startling data from the UK indicating a significant rise in disabilities coinciding with the mass vaccination effort. Dowd believes the same trend is likely happening in the US. This raises concerns, especially in dentistry, where an increase in cardiovascular disabilities among young patients has been observed. A more cautious approach to office-based anesthesia may be necessary.

Leave a Comment / Opiate Crisis / By David Lambert

A recent CDC analysis shows that antihistamines, particularly first-generation H1 subtype antihistamines like diphenhydramine, play a role in drug overdoses. Opioids were involved in most cases, and naloxone may not work with antihistamines. Continual monitoring is important.

Analgesia & COVID Vaccination

Leave a Comment / Non-Opiate Analgesics, Opiate Crisis / By David Lambert

NSAIDS May Impair Host Defenses The preference for the use of non-opioid analgesics for pain should now be obvious. However as the option of public COVID-19 vaccination is now widely available in many states, practitioners should be cautioned about the routine use of NSAIDS for pain relief where their treatment may overlap a patient’s vaccination window.(1) NSAIDs inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) which plays a …

Getting Started

Ok, I paid my registration fee. What do I do now?

Category: Getting Started

Once you have paid your course registration fee, you will be able to access your course after you sign-in to your user account…which you just created. But you need a password!

Did you receive these emails?

A transaction receipt
A course confirmation
General User Instructions
Log-in details
And possibly others…

Are those emails in your “Inbox”? If not, check your spam folder. If they are in your spam folder, your email provider (or domain) is filtering messages from ce-dojo.com. If your registration emails from CE Dojo are being sent to spam, see our FAQ “I can’t find any emails from CE Dojo!!”.

One email provides you with log-in details you specified during registration. But, it will also prompt you with a link to set your password. When complete, these two credentials – user name and password – will provide access to your “account”. Write these down. If you forget your password, you can reset it yourself – see our FAQ “I forgot the password to my CE Dojo user account!”

Now that you have your password in hand, you can log into your account to access your course(s).

I can’t find any emails from CE Dojo!!

Category: Getting Started

Often times email services (Google, etc) will filter email away from your inbox. Did you check your spam folder? But, simply moving our email out of spam to your inbox will NOT prevent future emails from meeting the same demise. The solution is to add email addresses from CE Dojo to your contact list.

If you do not find any email communications from CE Dojo in any of your email folders – including spam – there is a very real possibility your internet service provider (ISP) may have a firewall that is blocking our email. We have found that even adding our email addresses to your contact list does not resolve this problem. We have identified a couple of problem ISPs:

RoadRunner (nc.rr.com)
Apple (iCloud.com)
Embarq
Frontier
HughesNet
And others…

In this case, there is no resolution to this problem other than to create a “free email” account with Gmail, YahooMail, Hotmail, etc. Provide CE Dojo with your new email address and we’ll update our records. Again, don’t forget to add us to your contact list!
