From Small to Tall: Nurturing the Growth of Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

With this conference, From Small to Tall: Nurturing the Growth of Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we will explore the highly compatible specialties of pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. Our mission is to guide attendees through interdisciplinary clinical techniques and referral communication strategies, as well as contemporary patient management topics that these dental specialists commonly encounter. This conference will not only broaden the understanding of the two disciplines but also help attendees develop a comprehensive treatment approach that integrates the best practices from both fields. Attendees will also have an opportunity to actively engage with orthodontic industry suppliers during sponsored lunch-and-learn activities.
