Unlock the Science of Lasting Behavior Change
Karen Davis, RDH, BSDH, will reveal practical, science-based strategies to help oral health professionals and their patients build healthy habits that lead to lasting change.

Creating healthier habits is easy, making them last is the real challenge. At Dimensions’ Discovery EXPO, Karen Davis, RDH, BSDH, will explore the science behind sustainable behavior change in her presentation, Small Steps to Generate Giant Outcomes.
From improving sleep and exercise routines to reducing sugar intake, alcohol consumption, and periodontal disease risk, lasting success often depends on more than good intentions. Davis will discuss evidence-based strategies that can help dental professionals better understand what motivates lasting behavior change and how to translate those insights into meaningful patient conversations.
Attendees will gain practical techniques for encouraging healthier choices both inside and outside the operatory. Whether helping patients improve daily plaque control or working toward personal wellness goals, participants will leave with actionable tools to create realistic, sustainable habits that produce measurable results.
A practicing dental hygienist and founder of Cutting Edge Concepts, Davis has spent more than 30 years helping dental teams improve clinical efficiency, communication, and patient outcomes. Known for her engaging presentation style and practical approach, she delivers strategies clinicians can immediately apply in everyday practice.
Small Steps to Generate Giant Outcomes will be presented on Friday, August 7, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Dimensions’ Discovery EXPO. The session is sponsored by Philips. Click here to read more.
