Pediatric Dentistry for the General Dentist

October 19, 2019

Course Overview

Today’s parents frequently access the internet to gather information on all aspects of pediatric medicine and dentistry. This course is designed to provide a general review of pediatric dentistry, focusing on the parents most “frequently asked questions”.

The lecture will start with pre-natal and newborn concerns. Next, we will discuss common eruption problems, orthodontic concerns, pediatric oral pathology, trauma, dental infections, and prevention issues. Finally, we will cover those topics in the media that often stimulate questions from our well-informed parents.
