Beyond the Pulp: Non-Dental Causes of Facial Pain

In this day-long seminar, Dr. Hatfield, Program Director of Orofacial Pain at the University of Michigan, will answer questions about when to prescribe, what to fabricate, and where to refer. You will become more confident in your ability to think beyond the pulp.
Join the WCDS for a day of lectures, vendors, and, most importantly, socializing on September 29, 2023, at the Wine Country Inn in Palisade.
