SubjectRestorative dentistry
DescriptionTreatment planning is challenging. Especially if you are relatively new to dentistry, with little experience in the NHS. Please join us for a short informal session where we will cover the essentials of completing a dental examination and how this might inform your treatment plan. We would love to take questions - please email them if you have them in advance (lucy.silk@hee.nhs.uk). If you have any specific cases that you would like to share, please feel free to forward radiographs (no patient identifiers) in advance of the session. This session is free to attend and open only to PLVE dentists in the South West. Please come prepared to join in, with your camera and microphone working!
