Dr. Rick Schwartz
Dr. Rick Schwartz graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 1977 and completed a two-year General Dentistry residency. He did a combination of private practice, teaching and dental materials research before entering endodontic training in 1996. He has authored over 100 articles and abstracts and was a cover author on 3 editions of “Fundamentals of Operative Dentistry” by Quintessence Publishing Co. He is first author of the book “Best Practices in Endodontics”, also from Quintessence, and is a cover author of “Advanced CBCT for Endodonics .” For the past 25 years he has been in full time private practice limited to endodontics in San Antonio, TX. He has lectured extensively in U.S. and in 18 other countries.
Amazing Tales of Endodontics for Children
Children present many unique and challenging issues for endodontic treatment and treatment planning. They provide interesting variation from the typical adult endodontic practice. Somewhat by default, Dr. Schwartz’s practice has become a referral center for children and adolescents in San Antonio, and they make up a significant part of his practice. With kids the goals of endodontic treatment are often long-term, but in many cases the goals are relatively short term, to preserve compromised teeth only into their 20s, when jaw growth slows and the restorative options improve. His presentation will be case-based and will review some creative solutions to unique problems presented by young patients. Many of the cases will have long term recalls.
Learning Objectives: At conclusion, participants should be able to discuss:
1. How endodontics for children is often different than for adults, including treatment approaches and objectives.
2. Some creative ways to manage adolescents or teens with compromised teeth who are too young for implants or other restorative options.
3. How to manage a variety of traumatic injuries.
4. Some creative ways to manage developmental anomalies.

Things That Make You Go Hmm…
How often have you told yourself, “Well, I never saw that in my training?” In this three-hour course, we will pull that Band-Aid off swiftly and get right to many of those things. We will dive into molar hypomineralization. No, not a review of the literature to review prevalence and etiology. It’s more like the kiddo is in the chair, has seen two other providers who cannot get the child numb, and these teeth are wreaking havoc… now what? We will discuss treatment options from the most conservative to extraction and substitution cases. Keys to where to start and what to expect in the short and long term will be shared with long-term follow-up. Attendees will learn to master intraosseous local anesthesia to profoundly anesthetize the stubborn teeth enabling the most definitive treatment. Next, we will step into behavioral coaching for children, parents, the dental team, and of course – ourselves. Spoiler alert! It is a moving target, and one approach never works for everyone, however, some work for many. We will discuss losing team members. What is your dental dream team’s profile, genotype, and phenotype? Where do you find them, what motivates them, and how do you retain them? During our time together, there will be many clinical pearls. We will end with solutions to avoid liability landmines in our practice to allow us to keep the joy in the best profession on earth… pediatric dentistry!
Course Objectives:
- Understand the continuum of options available for the treatment of molar hypomineralization and how to get these tricky teeth anesthetized
- Review all modalities of achieving profound local anesthesia
- Embrace digital delivery of local anesthesia
- Learn how to deliver intraosseous local anesthesia
- Achieve comfort to pull the trigger on the extraction of hypomineralized 6-year molars and commit to molar substitution
- Surgical tips for removing teeth
- Identify the most effective ways to treat mesially ectopic 6-year molars (hypomineralized molars have a higher incidence of being mesially ectopic)
- Grasp space maintenance after the loss of second primary molars from mesially ectopic 6-year molars
- Discern how to choose your approach to behavioral coaching of children and parents and recognize when your toolbox does not have what will make a parent happy and deselect yourself as a caregiver
- Find solutions for the era of the Great Resignation
- Protect yourself from the landmines of liability in the distrusting and litigious world we practice in
