During a recent trip to Arizona to help mentoring a hands-on course for three days, I was surprised to see a fairly recent graduate and young dentist, who flew from Jamaica to take the course.
Hands-on courses in dentistry are a very serious commitment, for two reasons: 1- You have to be out of the office for a few days at the time, and 2- Hands-on courses are very expensive (they can cost thousands of dollars each).
For these reasons and more, you will only see the best of the best in these courses, the dentists who are committed to be the best they can be. In these courses there is no place for mediocre ones.

So for that fairly new dentist to be in a course like this, can be either one of two: Either he/she was lucky to find a mentor to guide them toward being the best at what you do, or someone that has that internal drive since they were young (very few people are blessed with this gift).
When I asked her if she had a mentor that guided her toward taking this course, to which she replied no, so how did you find out about advanced continuing education? she said: When I decided to be a dentist, I wanted to be very good at what I do, so being here was obvious to me.

If you take anything you do in life very seriously, your life would have a meaning, and you will have an unstoppable momentum, and going to work changes to going to make a difference in somebody’s life.

Being an educator has helped me meet some wonderful people from all over. Good education is the best thing you can give to others and to yourself.
Each time I fly somewhere as an educator or as a student, I am always on the look to influence someone, or get influenced by someone else.

Hi All,

Being a restorative dentist, I can help you a lot achieve an improved outcome, however, some situations are way more complicated to be achieved restoratively only, that is when interdisciplinary dentistry comes to play a role. It is achieve by a mutual effort of your restorative dentist, an orthodontist, a periodontist, and an oral surgeon. It might need one specialist, two specialists, or all three specialists combined with the restorative dentist to get you the desired results.

I work very closely with a team of incredible specialists when approaching a challenging case, I also can meet you at the specialist’s office to discuss your case while you are listening to me and the specialist talking about the different options to approach your case. During your complimentary consultation with the specialist, you can ask any question that you have on your mind, and between the two of us, we will give you an answer.

The consultation will take over a hour on an average, and it is part of my commitment to you, and your health. I have people that drive or fly hours to get to our office for this kind of advance dentistry.

The  options we discuss with you, will be the most conservative and efficient in your case, and you will feel that you have two friends on your side, that will help you understand your case fairly well.

Disclaimer: If have no interest of any kind when I send you to a specialist other than optimizing your treatment.

Hi all,

Continuing education knows no boundaries, and as part of my commitment to be the best clinician I could be, I am  leading a team of fine dentists for another  trip to Brazil, where we will meet a world class clinician for a week of hands on course.

Dentistry has been  changing so rapidly in the last two decades, that staying just few years without connecting to the recent advancements, would render you completely obsolete.

My time is spent on the followings year round: Practicing at the office, training other dentists, and learning myself.

If you haven’t been to our office before, one way to experience us for the first time, is to schedule for a curtesy consultation/ second opinion.
It takes usually 30 min to an hour with me. I might take one or more x-rays as part of your visit, to b able to diagnose properly. You will meet me and the rest of the team here. I will LISTEN to your concerns, and give you the most conservative options to your situation, with the pros and cons of each option, and you get to choose what you want to do.
Being a mentor at the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry, Which is the most advanced dental institute in the US, I can offer you conservative options, that you might have thought, don’t exist. Also you will be exposed to the option of phasing out any treatment over a period of time, so that it won’t disrupt your time and budget.

When you leave our office, you will have a good idea about your own condition, and an immediate sense of friendship with our own people. And when you come back, you will feel that you are among people that you knew for a long time, and among people who truly care about you.
