This interactive workshop is designed for dental professionals who aim to enhance their confidence and competence in treating young patients, particularly in mobile or community settings.

From addressing early childhood caries and hypoplastic molars to managing behavioural challenges and dental trauma, participants will gain practical knowledge to apply immediately in their practice.
