Dr. John A. Svirsky

Oral Pathology for the Joy of It: You are the Object of my Infection

Get ready to laugh, learn and make a difference in the lives of your patients.

Experience a day of oral pathology unlike any you’ve experienced! Dr. Svirsky is a storyteller extraordinaire whose subject just happens to be lumps, bumps, and lesions. Oral diseases are dramatized with emphasis on recognition, diagnosis, and treatment with conventional and non-conventional remedies.

Things you have forgotten since dental school and dental hygiene school are presented in vivid color. Lesions seen more often as “boomers” get older and “dryer” such as Herpes, Aphthous ulcerations, Candidiasis, erosions and dry mouth will be reviewed with current treatment modalities presented.
