We Can Do Better Than This!
Recently the American Dental Association reported that in 2010 only 37% of the adults in the US visited the Dentist (http://www.ada.org/news/8366.aspx). Ughhhh………We can do better than this. We need to do better than this!
If you are reading this blog post, I suspect that you are as passionate about helping people have great oral health as I am. That’s why I was so disappointed in the fact that so few people are visiting the Dentist. However, if you are a regular reader of this blog you also likely recognize that I am an unapologetic optimist. So, let’s turn this dour statistic around and consider it a call to action!

Access to dental care is a major issue in developing countries and it is truly heartwarming to see how Dental Professionals provide charitable care to those patients who might not ever receive care otherwise. Gary has often said that he’s not sure who benefits most; the people receiving the care or those providing it! In this episode we are thrilled to have Dr. James Goolnik from London, England as a returning guest on the Show to talk about two projects he is currently involved in. The first being an upcoming trip that Dr. Goolnik is arranging in Malawi, Africa this summer (https://twitter.com/dental_project). We’ll also be discussing a project that Gary and Dr. Goolnik are very excited about called Heart Your Smile.

Can You Afford to Ignore this Group?
As I write this blog post I am preparing to speak at the 1st Green Dental Conference hosted by the Eco-Dentistry Association coming up in Sundance, Utah. Since becoming familiar with this organization and the wonderful people who run it, I have come to embrace the concept of practicing ecologically-friendly dentistry. Not only is practicing ‘Green Dentistry’ good for the planet but turns out, it could be very good for your practice!
