This course with Dr. Goh is a rare opportunity to study and learn more about the nature of impacted third molars. It involves when to do them, how to do them, and how to have it go smoothly. Complications can be an issue with this surgery and much of the success with this procedure is from using the right instruments, handpieces, and burs.
