DCEdental: the largest online dental CE directory in the world

Have you ever wondered why pediatric dentists love their work so much? Would the idea of seeing 50 children each day sound like your worst nightmare come true? Come to this engaging program and discover why children are not only easy to manage, but fun as well. Techniques for handling pediatric dental patients are covered (some with video footage), as well as specific techniques for altering negative behaviors, such as needle-phobia and gagging.

Included is a discussion on how to effectively help parents become a part of the success of the child's experience rather than a detriment.
