X-RAY SCREENING AND REVIEW
Proper patient and endodontic tooth selection are the most critical aspects of passing the exam. Each year candidates are unsuccessful on the board because of improper patient selection. Western Dental Consultants will have an x-ray machine at the course so you will be able to take pictures of your endo teeth and potential patients. We will be available to review the x-rays with you.
