  • Dr. Kosten's presentation "Pediatric Dentistry for the General Dentist" was the information I've been looking for since dental school! She exceeded my expectations for knowledge, communication and transparency. Dr. Kosten was thorough yet approachable. As good as she was, the time together was even better because of her encouragement to ask questions and ability to answer succinctly - and with humor when appropriate! This lecture was everything I needed to hear as a general dentist on this subject - the most practical pedo lecture I've ever heard.

  • This was so much more informative than I could have imagined. Dr. Kosten was a great presenter, and I thoroughly enjoyed her lecture. She was the best presenter we had all series.

  • I am extremely grateful for Dr. Kosten's organized presentation at our local dental society meeting! She discussed pediatric restorations, nutrition, and current techniques for treating decay in the younger population. I felt confident that I could tackle a few scenarios that I hadn't in the past after hearing her lecture. Her information about sleep disordered breathing was also impressive. Dentists are required to screen for these disorders and her lecture will adequately prepare one to do so.

    Lisa Baines, DMD

  • Dr. Kosten's presentation was very informative. I now know when to guide parents to take their children to the dentist and how to better handle dental trauma cases.

    School Nurse Survival Training Conference attendee

  • I wanted to thank you for the presentation you gave at the IL ANFP meeting in Springfield. I learned a lot and have changed some of my eating habits already. Your presentation brought me back to some of these discussions with residents and helped me refocus on the importance of teeth and mouth health in conjunction with good nutrition.

    Stephane Perrin, Illinois Association of Nutrition and Food Service Professionals member

  • I just wanted to reach out and say I really enjoyed your lecture today. It was refreshing to hear your perspective on dentistry not being our entire identity. The holistic approach to dentistry is something that resonates with me as someone with a love of exercise, nutrition and health and wellness in general.
