Dear DrBicuspid Member,
Are your patients balking at treatment presentation? If so, practice management consultant Jen Butler suggests giving your patients some choices. It may seem intuitive, but giving the patient the power to choose between treatment options may help your practice over time. Read more here.
Also this week on DrBicuspid.com, five presentations from the 2017 Connecticut State Dental Association annual meeting are now available as continuing education (CE) videos. Topics include infection control, pain management and the role of opioids, and risk management. Learn more here.
What should you do if a patient experiences an acute myocardial infarction while at your office? Do you have an emergency plan? A presentation given at the recent California Dental Association's CDA Presents 2017 meeting provided useful information on how to avoid and be better prepared for handling serious medical events during treatment. Read more here.
Among the many products that debuted at the CDA Presents 2017 meeting were a new intraoral scanner from Planmeca, an airway imaging module from Carestream Dental, and an innovative virtual reality system from Komet USA. We present a look at some of the new products from the meeting. See them here.
Also, the devastating flooding and rainfall in Texas from Hurricane Harvey have led many organizations and businesses to set up ways to donate to relief efforts or receive aid. We've compiled a listing of ongoing relief efforts if you want to help. Find out more here.
We'll be back with new articles and columns on Tuesday. Be safe during your long weekend.
