This week on Dentistry Unmasked, David and Pam dive into the challenges of pediatric dentistry. They're joined by Dr. Anand Patel, a pediatric psychiatrist, who is here to share his insights.

How confident are you in managing children in your practice? Does your dental school pedo rotation really cover all the skills you need for today’s pediatric patients? More importantly, are the behavioral management techniques you learned still up to date with modern standards? To answer these questions, Pam and David are joined by Dr. Anand Patel, a pediatric psychiatrist, who shares invaluable insights on how to better manage young patients. Whether you’re looking to update your skills or learn what’s currently acceptable (and what’s not), this episode is packed with practical advice you won’t want to miss!
