Meet Your Instructor
Dr. Elaine Vowell believes dentistry is an awesome profession and continuing education is key to quality care. In 2021, Dr. Vowell created the curriculum for Your Best Shot training course. This comprehensive 24-hour course fulfills all criteria needed for hygienists in North Carolina to become certified to administer local anesthesia.
Dr. Vowell actively engages in dental education with the goal of continuous improvement and growth. In 2008, she earned her FAGD. She has continued her engagement in continuing education on both the local and national levels. She is currently finishing her requirements for her MAGD. In October 2021, North Carolina approved the credentialling of hygienists in the administration of local anesthesia. Dr. Vowell recognized the need for comprehensive training for this valuable and technique sensitive skill. She created a course that utilizes web-based education and microlearning for excellent course content. Her belief that education is a process not an event was integral to her development of the web-based curriculum being available to all her students for a year.
