The American Society of Cosmetic Dentistry is offering a comprehensive course on the Rubber Dam. This course will properly equip you with the knowledge you need to properly use the Rubber Dam.
What is the Rubber Dam?
The Rubber Dam is a thin square that is used as a way to separate the procedure site from the rest of the mouth. This helps to prevent the spread of bacteria throughout the mouth. If you are working on an infected tooth, you don’t want the infection to spread to other areas of the mouth.

After the course, you will walk away understanding how to correctly use the Rubber Dam in your practice. You will also be able to educate your patients on the use of a Rubber Dam and why it’s important in preventing the spread of bacteria throughout the mouth.
