Case Presentation: Six Month Smiles Short Term Ortho
I haven’t presented a case in a while. So here goes! This young man didn’t like his smile. Basically, he didn’t like his crooked teeth and wanted them straight in a reasonable amount of time. He turned down traditional orthodontics … Continue reading
Evil in Aurora
It’s been a while since I’ve written. Life is busy! And, that’s a good thing. But, gosh… so much going on currently that I could write about… Obama’s delusional indictment of business owners. (“You didn’t build that.”) Sage Stallone’s death … Continue reading

Social Media Time Allocation
There are lots of choices with social media these days. Facebook has the lion’s share of active users and activity. I’ve had a few techno-geek friends suggest that Google+ is up and coming and even better than Facebook. I’ve been … Continue reading
Writing Copy for Visitors, not Search Engines
I’m a BIG fan of SEO done right. I believe good SEO is some of the best money and effort you can spend on your website… to a point. Many, including myself, have preached that “content is king.” Ultimately, CONTENT … Continue reading

“Free trial” Dental Product Scams
I’ve been at this dental gig long enough to have seen these scams come around more than once. I first learned about this one many years ago. I got a bill for a composite build-up product that I never recalled … Continue reading

Lethal Force In Self-Defense – A Rarely Heard Perspective
