Hi Rachel- any courses that you know of? Or some resources re equipment etc. I feel like I'm more than capable but not sure what I need!

Hi with the correct training and equipment then absolutely. I did a talk on it for the BVDA conference this year.

Referral for odontoplasty!

it takes off the sharp tips and rounds them off shortening very slightly, then seals tubules with a dentinal sealant.

Is this something that could be done in first opinion practice, with a resourceful practitioner?

Brilliant thank you for your reply. I was hoping that would be possible!
