SubjectSpecial Care Dentistry
DescriptionThis day's course is aimed at the entire dental team especially those dentists and DCPs working in the field of special care dentistry. It is of particular interest to those dentists working towards the special care diploma and dental nurses interested in taking the equivalent special care exam for dental nurses. Although of particular interest to community dentists, many general dental practitioners and their teams may also find this interesting and relevant as it is likely that most practitioners will have some patients attending their surgery with mental health disorders.
