Course: What's Possible With the Pulp?
“What’s Possible with the Pulp?”
May 2nd, 2026
The Enova Dental Training Center: 6305 Sandburg Rd, STE 100. Minneapolis MN, 55427
Instructor:
Dr. Lauren Kuhn Nuth, DMD, MSD
CE: 7 CE Hours
Join us for a FULL DAY of learning and hands-on engagement. We will be focusing on strategies to make endodontic procedures smoother and more predictable (such as efficient local anesthesia and rubber dam placement), in addition to exploring cutting-edge ways to preserve natural tooth structure and the dental pulp. Magnification (including usage of microscopes) will serve as an adjunct to hands-on trainings in pulp capping, pulpotomies, and root canal obturation.
Dr. Lauren Kuhn Nuth is a diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics and brings nearly 7 years of experience treating patients in the greater Twin Cities. Come engage with your colleagues and our speaker for a day filled with rethinking our perspectives of “what’s possible” with the pulp!
