New ADA guidelines on antibiotic use for patients presenting with acute dental pain and swelling have recently emerged. An expert panel

New ADA guidelines on antibiotic use for patients presenting with acute dental pain and swelling have recently emerged. An expert panel convened by the ADA suggests antibiotics should only be used when systemic involvement is present, and that immediate definitive conservative dental treatment (DCDT) should be prioritized in all cases.

Your understanding of these new guidelines and how to appropriately prescribe antibiotics going forward is crucial. Dr. Leslie Fang will go over everything you need to know during this webinar.

Never before has the business of dentistry undergone so many major changes in such a short period of time. While these shifts have been building for several years, most dental practice owners are ill-equipped to prevent the potential damage to their livelihoods that accompany these challenges. Still, a minority of practices are doing just that – meeting these challenges effectively, and even beyond that, enjoying never before seen prosperity. Join us, as Dr. Feck shares their secrets to success.

Is there a better way to achieve maximum cleaning and debridement of the root canal system? Yes! Dr. Frost believes there is a paradigm shift taking place behind the scenes in endodontics — are you seeing it? Over-preparing the cervical area of the root to allow needle irrigation further down the root is a thing of the past. We can conservatively scale down over-enlarging of the canal space, and at the same time, achieve better tissue dissolution and pulpal debridement with smaller needle irrigation and innovative technology!

Take a closer look at the restorative procedures we do most often in practice including direct restorations, conservative smile enhancements, routine crown and bridge. Learn clinical tips and tricks to allow for everyday dentistry to seamlessly blend with the patient’s dentition. Throughout the presentation, relatively low cost techniques and materials will be presented to decrease stress levels while delivering predictable and efficient dentistry.

Dental implants are one of the fastest-growing treatment modalities in general dentistry. Whether you are placing implants or treatment planning with a team approach, or even if you’re planning to place a fixed bridge after an extraction, there are distinct advantages to preserving the patient’s alveolar ridge at the time of tooth removal. By making socket preservation by bone grafting part of your daily routine, you can provide a valuable service to your patients and add a new revenue source to your bottom line.

Over the last two years I’ve had the opportunity to dig a little deeper and I found that I’m paying a huge markup, and my guess is that you are too. Almost all dental instruments are sold through dental dealers who take about 40% of the purchase price. I was tired of being ripped off, so I decided to do something about it.

With the help of some incredible dentists around the country, I’ve founded Berman Dental Instruments. We’ve vetted instrument manufacturers, researched steel quality, and developed instruments so good, I’m proud to put my name on them. Stop paying ridiculously marked up prices and purchase quality dental instruments directly through us.
