Being self-taught, he found a lot of people asking him to share his techniques, and it evolved out of the need. How many teeth will I get to remove during the course? 8 to assist and 8 on your own. This is more than sufficient when they have broken everything down into simple step. There will also always be an instructor there to help you.

Do you recommend 3rd molar extraction in all cases? We cannot predict complications down the line, so removal early on will prevent further complications. Removal much later is a more difficult surgery as well as a harder recovery for the patient. Can I bring my assistant? There is no need to bring an assistant. As an assistant to another doctor, you get additional experience. What’s the easiest way to sign up for the course?
