S24: Can't We Just Pull Them?
Description: Not every question parents ask about their children’s dental
care was covered in the other talk. Here are more, including early
orthodontics, thumb-sucking, stainless steel crowns and several more. These
come up when the doctor leaves the treatment area and the parent asks the
dental assistant. Are your assistants prepared to answer them? They can be if
they attend this program.
