Are we too quick to extract and implant?
Remember the days when “herodontics” was all the rage? Hmmmm… maybe you don’t. Now, if there’s even a question about a tooth’s restorability, it’s reflexively diagnosed as acute titanium deficiency syndrome. When in doubt, take it out (and replace it … Continue reading

Even Office Staff Need TLD (Tender-Loving-Dentistry)
Yesterday, when I arrived at the office, my office manager told me that she felt tooth #7 “crack” and now it’s loose. At the end of the day, I took a look. I was able to remove the crown / … Continue reading
Strive for Perfection. Be Happy with “Darned Good.”
Dentistry is demanding in many ways. It’s physically demanding. It’s mentally demanding. Dentists have to wear a lot of hats. We are the primary producer in a business. We are the doctor. We are the manager. We are the CEO, … Continue reading
