Norfolk and Norwich Section - Your patients' teeth are wearing away.  Are you ready?

What to expect

Tooth wear is one of the fastest growing clinical challenges in general practice, and one of the most poorly served by undergraduate education. This vital session closes the gap, giving you the diagnostic clarity, clinical judgement, and restorative confidence to act earlier and achieve better long-term outcomes. 

Stop monitoring. Start managing. 

Know precisely when to intervene, which materials to select, and how to build a treatment plan to help your patients, and their occlusion, survive and thrive.

The Norfolk and Norwich Section's AGM will also take place at the event.
