Managing Misfortunes and Complications in the Dental Practice – Things We All Need to Know
This lecture will focus on the management of some of the most common and frustrating complications associated with day to day practice.
In this presentation, Dr. Wilkerson will review what we are learning about the oral-systemic connection and steps we can take to proactively engage in a more comprehensive
level of care for ourselves, our families, our patients and our country. Dentistry should and can be the most highly respected “specialty” in all of health care!

- Develop strategies for managing patients related to their drug therapy and what to look for in a health history to avoid problems
- Evaluate strategies for avoiding and managing immediate and post-op surgical complications in a general practice
- Manage the anticoagulated patient in the dental practice with an emphasis on how to manage bleeding by the general practitioner
- Review how to manage and avoid infections in the dental practice
