Resources for the Seasoned Population


Dr. Donna Jacboi and I spoke at the Florida Prosthodontics Study Group in Wyoming in 2013.  As part of our presentation, we established a resource sheet for entities relating to the “seasoned” population.   These resources are provided to you for your review. I believe these resources will be extremely helpful.
