SubjectSpecial care dentistry
DescriptionWe all have phobic patients but at what point should we refer them? This course will explain what services are available at the Plymouth Community Dental Services and help us understand how to assess patients for their suitability for treatment under conscious sedation. This course is being held at the PCDS facility in Plymouth with Alison James, the sedation lead and Clare Beattie, the phobic lead for PCDS. It is an ideal opportunity to meet the team who help with these cases.
Additional information
