Course Info:
The course provides a flexible continuing education experience for dental practitioners interested in obtaining necessary knowledge and skills prerequisite to delivering proficient comprehensive dental care to young children. The program aims to expand the number of dental practitioners who feel competent in providing children age 1-6 years with quality preventive and invasive/restorative/surgical pediatric dental services. Completion of this mini-residency enhances one’s qualifications when applying for hospital staff and operating room privileges and allows general dental practitioners to provide optimal dental care for a larger younger pool of pediatric patients while being aware of the needed quality of care standards.
This first part of intensive pediatric dental course series covers various aspects of pediatric dental treatment including diagnosis and treatment planning and core preventive & restorative pediatric dental procedures with emphasis on quality of care and cost effectiveness. Behavior guidance, local anesthesia, advanced isolation systems, infant/age one dental visit and fluoride varnish, silver diammine fluoride, and anti caries chemotherapeutics. Restorative techniques will also be taught with hands on instruction including SSC/White crowns and bonding techniques. A very brief review of managing pediatric occlusion, space maintenance and nitrous oxide sedation with referral guidelines for both early orthodontic therapy and sedation/general anesthesia will also be covered.
