The scope and speed with which new options have proliferated in the marketplace can make it dificult to ass sess those solutions most valuable to a particular practitioner.” Glidewell Dental is an ADAsCERP recs ognized provider and an Academy of Dallas will be the site of the inaugural Glidewell Dental Symposium in NovemberE Photo/www.freeimages.com General Dentistrysapproved PACE Pros gram Provider.
