Management of the Medically Complex Dental Patient
As general practitioners, we should be able to safely treat or manage medically complex patients and avoid complications.
This program will focus on prevention and management of medically involved patients that we commonly see in our practices.
Examples include everything from the anti-coagulated patient to the pregnant patient. We will review guidelines for treatment
and discuss how to determine the right time to refer.
