Course Description

We may have to call the Guinness World Book of Records, because this may be the biggest hands-on workshop ever!

According to the US Census Bureau, approximately 1 out of 5 Americans have a disability. As a dental health provider, are you looking for strategies to increase your ability to deliver dental care for your patients with special healthcare needs? This unique opportunity will provide dental professionals with those strategies. Through hands-on activities, participants will simulate what a visit to the dental office may be like for a patient with special needs. Participants will identify strategies and modifications to dental treatment options and dental treatment delivery for patients with special needs.
