SubjectSpecial care dentistry
DescriptionWe are proud to present our first major event symposium on special care dentistry. Housed in the National Coal Mining Museum for England, the day will consist of series of lectures and short presentations from our team of expert and very dedicated speakers and will cover aspects of oncology and anticoagulants in the morning. The afternoon session will focus on the impact of obesity in relation to dental care – and will include a patient’s perspective. The day is sponsored by Diaco and J&S Davis. All members of the dental team are very welcome to attend.
Additional information

Please note that although the venue is only six miles from the M1, there are many speed controls so this part of the journey may take longer than anticipated. However, the course starts at 9.30am and breakfast sandwiches will be available!
