Department of Pediatric Dentistry - Educational Videos
Faculty members and residents from the Department of Pediatric Dentistry have developed educational videos on various pediatric oral health topics. The videos may be viewed online or downloaded to your computer for viewing. DVD copies are also available on a limited basis by contacting Cathy Skotowski at cathy-skotowski@uiowa.edu.
Support for these projects was provided in part by a grant from the Delta Dental of Iowa Public Benefit Fund.
