Morning Lecture
Course Title:
Noninvasive Caries Treatments
Course Description:
Minimally invasive treatment of incipient caries lesions can help delay or even avoid entering the surgical restorative cycle and prolong the lifespan of the natural dentition. Non-surgical interventions like topical fluorides, remineralization, silver diamine fluoride, and resin infiltration can help reverse or arrest non-cavitated proximal. This course will explore proactive treatment for incipient caries lesions that bridge the gap between “watch and wait” and “drill and fill.”
Course Objectives:
- Review non-restorative treatments for incipient caries lesions
- Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the different treatment options
- Review the clinical protocols for nonsurgical caries treatments
Afternoon Lecture
Course Title:
Pulp Therapy and Stainless Steel Crowns
Course Description:
Frequent snacking, not flossing, and unsupervised brushing combined with baby teeth’s thin enamel, enlarged pulp chambers, and tight, broad contacts create the perfect storm for rapid breakdown of tooth structure. Multi-surface restorations can be unpredictable and difficult to place in young children. Pulp therapy and stainless steel crowns (SSCs) are some of the most common pediatric dental procedures, as well as the most dependable for achieving long term clinical success. This course will review minimally invasive options like indirect pulp therapy and the Hall Technique, as well as conventional vital pulpotomy and SSC placement. Whether you are a general dentist that enjoys treating children or a seasoned pediatric specialist, we will review tips and tricks to help increase your treatment confidence and improve clinical outcomes.
Course Objectives:
- Review pulp therapy guidelines
- Review the evidence for Hall Technique
- Discuss the clinical protocol for SSCs and pulp therapies
Course Title:
Tongue-Tie Update: How Oral Restrictions Impact Feeding, Speech, and Sleep Across the Lifespan
Course Description:
It seems everywhere you turn, parents and professionals are discussing, concerned about, and asking questions about tongue and lip-ties. With so many opinions, objections, and success stories, it’s hard to cut through the noise. This evidence-based and clinically-informed presentation will clarify the real struggles and quality of life issues a restricted tongue or lip can impact. Dentists are well-positioned to screen for, diagnose and treat, or refer these patients with a team-based approach to manage these common conditions. A review of the relevant literature, clinical cases of all ages, diagnostic criteria, assessment techniques, treatment videos, and recommendations will be discussed in this comprehensive lecture. Dr. Baxter will share the knowledge, successes, and struggles from his practice and experience in treating thousands of patients with these conditions. A question and answer session will follow the didactic learning with plenty of time for attendees to ask questions and learn how best to help their patients.
Course Objectives:
- Describe the literature relating to tongue and lip-ties and the best practices where research does not yet exist.
- Conduct a thorough exam on a baby, child, or adolescent; classify the degree of tongue or lip restriction; and screen for common symptoms related to these conditions.
- Know if the attendee wishes to treat these patients in the office as part of a multidisciplinary team or refer them for care by a trained provider.
- List the steps involved in assessing, diagnosing, referring to other specialists, and treating when indicated children with tongue restrictions.
- List action steps to initiate inclusive and diversity efforts in your practice.

He is a nationally recognized speaker on tongue-ties, and lead author of the bestselling book Tongue-Tied: How a Tiny String Under the Tongue Impacts Nursing, Speech, Feeding, and More.

He lives in Birmingham, AL with his wife, Tara, their five-year-old old twin girls, Hannah and Noelle, and infant Molly.
