The Return of the Queens of Airway (DHP251)

 

The Queens of Airway are back! Jason and Alan are joined again by Dr. Tracey Nguyen, Dr. Rebecca Bockow and Dr. Erin Elliott! This episode digs deep in to pediatric airway management. We've talked a lot about adult airways, but today gives you insight into the screening, diagnosis and treatment of airway issues in children. There is a LOT to think about here because effective airway treatment in a child might help prevent airway issues in the adult!

I was once one of those guys that was all, "I don't need opaquers. My patients can't tell the difference." I am no longer. Cosmedent offers a line of products called the "Creative Color Opaquers." They come in a bunch of different shades, just like Cosmedent composites and you're going to find a bunch of awesome uses for them! Dark teeth, color matching, increasing value...they are awesome and they're as easy to use as flowable composite. Check them out at dentalhacks.com/opaque.
