Actually, there are countless reasons why a dentist should learn Comprehensive Phase I Orthodontics. Some of those reasons are easy to figure out: With correct diagnosis, it is best for most patients. If you are a general or pediatric dentist, it is highly likely that many of these diagnosable, treatable patients are already in your practice. The third reason... see the video! Here are four MORE simple things you can do to prevent virus transmission... and you might not have heard of them! Besides the things you commonly hear about that are supposed to suppress virus transmission, here are four more things you possibly haven't heard about. Suddenly, things are VERY different. The post-COVID world is certainly not the old world we were used to. For dentists (and everyone else), here are ways to re-invent and revive. The COVID epidemic actually gives dentists a time to pray, plan and prepare. There are opportunities out there, if you look for them. Ready for your practice's post-COVID comeback? Here's a great way to get started, especially if you just 'dabble' in ortho. You can set yourself up to provide better patient care and have a better bottom line. And these are good things! With more than 30 years in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics, I've had a wide variety of experiences treating thousands of child patients. Here's what I've found works best with the huge majority of child patients and their parents. Before dental school, I was a critical care nurse. Then dental school, then a specialty in pediatrics and an orthodontics fellowship. Thirty-plus years of clinical experience, plus faculty status at three dental schools. My joy in life is sharing these experiences. Some thoughts on the COVID-19 virus. It is time to think and be thankful. Living in fear is never productive. |
