Venue:            Image Dental Lab, Barrie (NOTE THE VENUE CHANGE)

Facilitator:      Tammy Gouweloos, RDH

As our clients are becoming more educated with resources over the internet and making more of their own health decisions, we need to be able to answer their questions or know where to refer them about the connection of Oral Health to Wellness and Nutrition. Understanding Naturopathic, Homeopathic and the Whole Body Approach to Oral Health is the future for Health and Wellness.
