Dental care is an essential service, and the techniques used today are comparable across the globe. Joining us today to talk about third molar removal and coronectomies is Danish oromaxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Mads Hagen Pedersen. We start the discussion with Mads’ journey to surgery, and how Danish and American dental training differs. We next move on to third molar removal, and the key pieces of literature that define how surgeons across Denmark and the USA operate. Grant then shares his process of deciding whether or not to remove the third molar, and Mads breaks down the statistics around the operation. We also hear about coronectomies, and the considerations, contraindications, and communication necessary to make them a success. To wrap up this fascinating discussion, Mads explains dental cover in Denmark and his answers to the rapid-fire questions (like why he only drives to work one day a week!). So, for some international pearls of wisdom, and so much more, press “Play” now.
