As a practicing dentist for over 40 years, Dr. Harold has developed a national reputation as he delivers practical and user-friendly clinical recommendations to his audience that can be applied and incorporated immediately by attendees upon returning to their practices. As a result, dental professionals will make better clinical decisions regarding the prescribing of analgesics, record keeping, risk management and patient care. For example, the management of acute dental pain has become a challenge for dentists because of the opioid epidemics impact creating a significant increase in prescribing regulations.
