In this series of presentations, Sarah Chagnon, DHAT and Miranda Davis, DDS, MPH discuss a de-identified case of a pediatric high caries risk patient. Then, Dr. Sean Kelly, DDS, MSHS, provides a didactic presentation focused on caries risk assessments and tools, valuable protocols, and approaches for management.

The one-hour Oral Health ECHO virtual clinics offer clinicians an opportunity to present cases, receive recommendations from peers and an interprofessional team of specialists working in Indian Country, engage in a didactic presentation, obtain CDE, and become part of a learning community. Together, we will manage patient cases so that every patient gets the care they need.
