Tooth Erosion Education from GlaxoSmithKline
GlaxoSmithKline and the AGD has partnered to educate dentists and the public on tooth erosion/acid wear. GSK’s grant not only funded two courses at the AGD’s 2007 Annual Meeting & Exhibits, but it also has allowed the AGD to provide an online and print erosion survey of the AGD’s membership, a special report about erosion in AGD Impact, and a public service announcement campaign. Visit the tooth erosion section of the Web site to view FAQs, print brochures for your office and read the latest on dental erosion.
