What's New in Continuing Education
August is now here, which means that it is the last full month of summer for those of us in the Northern
Hemisphere. It's also probably the last month this year to watch CE on your iPad on your outdoor patio. That's
right-our CE is viewable on iPads and other portable devices!

Pediatric Dentistry: Anesthesia,
Pulp Therapy and Stainless Steel Crowns

With the Affordable Care Act mandating dental coverage for those 19 and younger, more than
3 million pediatric patients will be added to 150,000

necessity for your dental office. Pulp therapy and stainless
steel crowns are procedures often considered complex
when performed on pediatric patients; this course will
alleviate any fear of the unknown that leads to this
misconception. Indirect pulp therapy, pulpotomy and
pulpectomy are discussed, with emphasis on diagnosis

with procedural steps explained and shown. The course
