Pediatric Dentistry: Current Thoughts, Principles, and Techniques
Speaker: Dr. Josh Wren
Course Description:
Pediatric dentistry has the potential to add a new revenue stream for the general dentist. With the right approach, treating children is often much easier than treating adults. In general, I perform 3-4 treatment procedures vs. the dozens that a general dentist does. With the firm foundation set in this course, the attendee can feel confident in treating 90% of the children that enter their office.
Topics covered:
Office tour (with tips and recommendations)
Behavior management
Modern (or ancient) alternative treatment modalities
Space maintenance: when, what and why
Interceptive orthodontics
Resins and bioactives
Pulp therapy
Stainless steel crowns
Resin crowns and zirconia crowns
