AvailabilityCourse has taken place
SubjectPaediatric dentistry
DescriptionWe warmly invite you to a day of Paediatric Dentistry. Never perform with children or animals – that’s the advice of our two expert speakers - there are too many things that can go wrong. The day covers a catalogue of disasters, from falling off skateboards to choosing the wrong parents.
Additional information

The morning session will be a series of lectures covering trauma, oral medicine, GA treatment planning for children as well as genetics. The afternoon session will consist of small group work looking at clinical failures in Paediatric Dentistry. Our two speakers have an international reputation for getting things wrong then giving lectures about it! - Prof Angus Cameron is Head of Department and Clinical Associate Professor of Paediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics at Westmead Hospital Sydney Australia and Mr Mike Harrison is a Consultant in Paediatric Dentistry at Guy's Hospital in London – they will give an entertaining and thought-provoking day, showing a warts-and-all view of problems that can happen in a child’s mouth, with plenty of tips on how to manage them.
