2008

FRESH BREATH: Research concluded: chlorine dioxide products reduce the bacterial count responsible for causing VSC’s (volatile sulfur compounds) which causes the odors. It is effective, and alcohol-free. Alcohol-based rinses kill the surface layer of cells=worse odor . To order directly from the company: 800-333-7374, Ref#54755701, ask for Oxyfresh Mint mouthrinse, tongue scraper, and toothpaste. We can't seem to keep enough of it in stock for everyone. The result is dramatic.

KEEPING CURRENT:
I am very excited and proud to tell you I am maintaining the level of skill you have come to expect and deserve. I am constantly attending advanced courses.  I recently completed my attendence at the American College of Prosthodontic meeting in Miami in Nov 2008.  It was a very informative meeting.  It is always a positive experience to "rub shoulders" with such highly trained, like minded professionals.

I have had the privilege of working with a very talented researcher who is an anatomist and visionary, Bill Lopez. We have been associates for the past 17 years. He is a true genius. We are in the process of conducting landmark studies. Anatomical landmarks have been identified and engineering studies have verified that the relationships we have noted are in fact related to clinical success and vice versa.  I feel this is destined to change the way dentistry will be practiced. The only constant is change. I am also excited to further my studies with regard to TMJ, headaches, dysfunction and the relationship to the bite. Continuing education will always be a cornerstone of our practice. We are in the “golden age of dentistry”.

I am proud and excited to tell you that in September 2006 I received a patent for an instrument I have been developing.  I am progressing throught the prototype stage now.  This will enhace the ease and accuracy in which many procedures can be delivered, not only in dentistry but also in the medical arena as well.  I will continue to update you as things progress.

Enjoy Good Health!
