This summer while working in my garden, I started thinking about how taking care of my flowers is a lot like taking care of my dental team. I enjoy being outdoors working when spring starts and as things come to life. Living in Wisconsin, we love to see things come to life after a long cold winter. I love it when summer comes, and the colors are in full bloom in the flower beds and the sun is bright and hot. Just as a gardener tends to their garden to ensure it flourishes with vibrant blooms, nurturing your dental team…

As dental professionals, our goal is to help enable our patient to have a healthy oral cavity. One of the very best tools in our dental therapeutic toolbox is unknown to most of the dental profession. It is not a medicine but rather the essence of life itself- oxygen- but even better- super oxygen- in the form of oxygen-ozone therapy. It is the safest medical therapy ever derived, it plays an important role in health, healing, and our wellbeing. Oxygen-Ozone Energy and Sunlight make Super Oxygen-Ozone O2-O3 is one of the greatest oxidizers in nature. It is formed when high…

The Filtek Matrix: Finishing and Polishing Technique As with any direct composite procedure, it is very important to contour and polish well to achieve natural results. The Filtek Matrix will take you through composite build-up and provide a better shape while minimizing voids compared to freehanding because you are filling rather than layering. Still, it’s up to you to successfully finish the restoration. When contouring a restoration, created with the Filtek Matrix or otherwise, I utilize a “divide and conquer” approach. If you focus on each anatomical component of the restoration one by one, the sum of the parts will…
Vor-Ort-Event Materialtechnische Fortschritte in den Bereichen Keramik und Adhäsivtechnik haben zu völlig neuen minimalinvasiven Restaurationsmöglichkeiten geführt. Ein klinischer Langzeiterfolg erfordert neben einer sogfältigen Behandlungsplanung und Materialauswahl eine werkstoffgerechte Präparation und sichere Befestigung. Die kontinuierliche Entwicklung der letzten Jahre hat zu erheblich vereinfachten, sicheren und effizienten Adhäsiv-Systemen geführt. Der Vortrag gibt anhand zahlreicher klinischer Beispiele ein Update zu den verschiedenen neuen Einsatzmöglichkeiten modernster Materialien und Adhäsivtechniken, von A wie „Aufbau endodontisch behandelter Zähne“ bis Z wie „Zirkonoxidkeramik“. Daraus entwickelte innovative Behandlungskonzepte für die moderne Praxis werden anhand von Falldokumentationen step-by-step dargestellt und wissenschaftlich bewertet. Praktische Demonstrationen zur adhäsiven Befestigung vermitteln dem…
Ten years ago this month, I started my dental health blog. The most important part of my patient care is giving my patients information. Appointment times are far too short to scrape tartar, polish teeth, take x-rays or perio probe gums, and get the doctor to do an exam AND do patient education. So, thanks to my lovely daughter and editor, I started writing weekly articles for my patients. Queen of Dental Hygiene was born. I love being a dental hygienist. More specifically, I love being a biological dental healthcare healer. How is biological dental healthcare different from traditional…
While certain aspects of life come effortlessly, dental practice management is not commonly recognized as one of those easy endeavors. New challenges are creating more stress for office managers including staffing shortages, increased overhead costs, and AR challenges. For many practices, the team spends too much time: Tracking down patients for recare Scheduling and rescheduling to fit patients’ ever-changing requests Dealing with complicated insurance forms and reports Inputting customer information into your system from multiple software products or paper forms Doing excessive amounts of “busy” work, including printing, copying, scanning, and filing Advancement in technology, especially dental practice management software,…
Most people who work in the dental industry are aware of the staffing shortage. Part of that shortage is due to dental assistants leaving the profession in droves during and after the pandemic, and they aren’t returning. Even though they’re vital members of the dental team who perform important responsibilities, including infection control, dental assistants are often underpaid, underappreciated, and undertrained. You might also be interested in Infection control coordinator: The importance of what they do and why you need one Dental assisting: Past, present, and our bright future Career growth and respect for dental assistants To address this issue,…
