continuing education update What's New in Continuing Education? September is time to go back to school. But at Dentaltown, the school is anytime and anywhere you want with our ever-expanding roster of quality online CE courses! The past month we have had four excellent additions to our Online CE roster on Dentaltown. Why Did I Get Out of Bed Today?: Tales from a Comprehensive Dentist by John Nosti, DMD, FAGD, FACE, FICOI Failures in dentistry are unfortunately a way of practice. Despite this possibility, when they occur there is still an emotional and mental strain placed on the practitioner. Dr. Nosti discusses case failures and shares with you moments he wished he stayed in bed! From this he will review treatments he would have changed and what he wouldn't. A candid lecture that was presented at the Townie Meeting 2014 and one you won't want to miss! Bisphosphonates: Extractions, Implants and Beyond by Fayette Williams, DDS, MD, FACS Over four million women in the United States are taking bisphosphonates and require dental treatment. Although dentists encounter these patients commonly, many are unsure of when treatment modiﬁcations are necessary to minimize morbidity. Newer antiresorptive medications have entered the market and caused further confusion for dentists. This course is designed to educate the dental practitioner on the implications of bisphosphonates in their practice. Evidence-based recommendations are provided to allow clinicians to know when treatment modiﬁcations are necessary for dental treatment. Speciﬁc attention is given to situations when dentoalveolar surgery should be avoided entirely. Dr. Fayette Williams (toofache32 on the Dentaltown.com message boards) covers this important topic comprehensively. The Productive Dentist by Bruce Baird, DDS Learn the diagnostic, scheduling and patient ﬁnance options that have taken Dr. Baird from an "average" dentist to one who produces over $2,500 per hour! Think the key is speed? Academic intelligence? Clinical credentialing? Think again. While these elements are a part of every great dentists clinical success, they don't always translate into productivity. The heart of productivity is genuine concern and relationship. While this sounds easy, as engineers, many dentists fail to make the connection. Our role as patient advocates is to clear obstacles to care and help patients ﬁnd long-lasting solutions. Once patients trust you and have a clear blueprint for restoring their oral by Howard M.
