Solutions for dentists suffering with musculoskeletal disorders
According to the World Health Organization, around 21% of the world’s population, or 1.71 billion people, have musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Dental clinicians are not immune to this problem, with some studies reporting at least 77% of dental professionals suffering from painful MSDs. Whether you suffer from neck or back pain or hand and wrist issues, these ergonomic strategies and exercises can help keep you practicing at your best. (Dentistry iQ)
The RAPPORT approach: Selling without being “salesy”
Have you ever had an uncomfortable selling experience in your life? We live in a highly consumer-driven society, and patients are no different when it comes to dentistry. RAPPORT-based selling provides a format for proving value first and gives your patients options while engaging them in the process of buying dentistry. Using this technique builds trusting relationships and guides them toward needed treatment without the salesy approach. (Dental Economics)
Adhesive dentistry with bonded onlay prep
Jose-Luis Ruiz, DDS is a pioneer and leader in the field of adhesive dentistry. In this video he stresses the importance of minimally invasive dentistry and is proud of how little tooth structure he needs to remove from damaged teeth before the repair. His use of adhesive dentistry makes procedures easier, faster and more predictable for the patient and the dentist. (Dentistry Today)
