The winter edition of Mouth has hit your mailboxes and is available to read online!
In this issue, we focus on special care dentistry with articles on topics such as treating patients with autism, geriatric populations and prison dentistry. The vice president of the Special Care Dentistry Association, Dr. Jason Grinter, discusses the challenges that patients with special needs face and the passion he has for treating them in his article. Author Roshan Patel from Florida continues the discussion on patients with special needs in his article “Making patients with special needs a part of your practice”.
In the second half of Mouth, you’ll find the usual articles on career transition, predentals and financial matters. For those interested in specializing, don’t miss Kylee Ferris’ “Guide to postdoctoral training” and predentals need to read Katie Sleeper’s article on “Navigating predental forums”.
