Quality orthodontics, an achievable dream of a general dentist – Orthodontic course

Did I just mention Orthodontic course ? Wait what is that?

There are tons of courses out there for endodontics, full mouth rehabilitation, aesthetic dentistry & even implant dentistry or facial aesthetics (something that is rarely taught at the graduation level). Still many dentists with a graduate degree pursue short courses & fulfill their dream of practicing these branches. 
However have you ever given it a thought, as to  why are there are only handful courses of orthodontics?

Dr Kaushal Kishore from POS progressive orthodontic seminars

In this episode I speak to Dr. Kaushal Kishore, a super energetic dentist from Chennai who not only pursued his dream of treating orthodontic cases but also became an international speaker for the POS training program. He has conducted orthodontic courses not only on India but also Singapore, Australia and through Europe.

Hope this episode will inspire a few dentists ! 🙂 

Yes we have a great Orthodontic course for general dentists too !
