Course Description
Less is more when it comes to children's oral health. This applies to almost everything one can conjure up, from junk food intake to the amount of toothpaste used in treating dental caries. Minimally Invasive Dentistry is built upon the same rationale. As clinicians, we are constantly learning and exploring ways to make evidence-based dental treatment easier, faster, and more efficient for our young patients to ensure a lifetime of good oral health and positive dental experiences. As practice owners, we are constantly mindful of incorporating materials and methods that enhance productivity and improve workflow while keeping the overheads reasonably sound.
