Pediatric Dentistry for General Dentists: Choosing Crowns & Materials | Dr. Carla Cohn
Description
Can a general dentist build a practice treating only kids? Dr. Carla Cohn has done it for years in Winnipeg, and she teaches GPs how to treat children with confidence: how to pick materials for baby teeth, what's replacing stainless steel crowns, and when to refer.
In this episode:
- How a general dentist ended up treating only children
- Whether a kids-only GP practice works for new grads
- Why GPs should keep the kids in their practice
- Alternatives to stainless steel crowns, including zirconia and new resin crowns
- How to choose a material for a primary tooth
- Working alongside pediatric dentists
- Where lasers fit in a pediatric practice
📰 Plus dental news: Dentsply Sirona pauses Byte aligners, and a dental imaging startup fraud case.
Dr. Carla Cohn is a general dentist whose practice is limited to children, with operating room care at Kids Sleep Dentistry in Winnipeg. She teaches in the undergraduate pediatric program at the University of Manitoba and lectures to general dentists through Lit Smile Academy
