BLOGS & PODCASTS
As the world of endodontics changes and progresses, here are some links to information that might be useful to growing your practice or simply keeping up with the latest in our industry. I have also written blogs that might be useful to you.
HOW COACHING PAYS FOR ITSELF
Fall is a wonderful time of year for many reasons. The weather is crisp and refreshing, the leaves change color and provide stunning scenery, and there are many fun activities to enjoy, such as pumpkin carving, apple picking, and hayrides. But fall is also a great time to start planning business decisions for the
WHEN IS A REACTION AN OVERREACTION?
Working with so many Endos, my experience is that many of them appear to be easily triggered. The work we do is about precision and as close to perfection as possible. If we’re not careful, however, that same instinct can spill into the rest of our lives. In life, there are triggers that I

THE POVERTY MINDSET & THE ART OF ABUNDANCE
I read a quote the other day that I want to share: "The world belongs to those who let go.” By Lao Tzu It got me to thinking about clients I’ve worked with who can’t let go of fear and anxiety and consistently worry about worst-case scenarios. The whole concept of a glass “half empty
JUST HOW IMPORTANT IS TIME OFF?
I read a book recently that seems to supply the answer: John Fitch and Max Frenzal could be speaking directly to Endos with this title: Time Off: A Practical Guide to Building Your Rest Ethic and Finding Success Without Stress. The authors tell us we can discover the transformative power of leisure to recapture

WAITING FOR UTOPIA
If you’ve been holding your practice with a death grip, overwhelmed with fear, worry, and a list of frightening “what ifs?”, may I suggest you take a deep breath and lighten up. If you’re typical, you get into your routine, limit doing new things and find your excitement for life has dwindled. You fill
HOW TO TURN REGRETS INTO OPPORTUNITIES
Daniel H. Pink has spent years researching human regret and decided to compile data on it in a qualitative way. He surveyed regret all over the world, asking anyone to write in with their regrets, ultimately receiving tens of thousands of stories and missives with which he could compile, classify, analyze and recognize patterns.
IF YOU WON THE LOTTERY, WOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR LIFE MUCH?
A friend posed this question to me and I responded that I might buy a boat, although not sure I would want the hassle, or buy a new house that had a yard for my dogs but, no, I wouldn’t change much. Money is just not what motivates me most or drives my choices.
IS YOUR ENDODONTIC PRACTICE IN A RUT?
Connecting with as many Endos as I do, I’ve observed that so many have lost the passion for their profession. They often come to me looking for a magic answer to being as excited as when they started practicing. I don’t have a magic answer but I do have a few thoughts to

What’s the difference between a general dentist and an endodontist?
General dentists are essential practitioners who keep teeth healthy by performing a wide variety of treatments from fillings to crowns to extractions, bridges, cleanings and much more. In the field of dentistry, there are several specialists including cosmetic dentistry, orthodontic services, periodontics, teeth restoration, oral-maxillofacial surgery and much more.
ENDODONTISTS ARE SPECIALISTS IN SAVING TEETH.
Just like a specialized doctor in any other field (heart specialists, oncologists, pediatricians, etc.), endodontists are specialists at diagnosing tooth pain and root canal treatment and other procedures relating to the interior of the tooth. In many cases, a diseased tooth can be saved with endodontic treatment.
ENDODONTISTS MUST COMPLETE MORE TRAINING. Along with two to three years of advanced training beyond dental school, endodontists must have incredible precision and hand-eye coordination, making them highly skilled at performing complex treatments.
ENDODONTISTS DO AN AVERAGE OF 25 ROOT CANAL TREATMENTS A WEEK, WHILE GENERAL DENTISTS TYPICALLY DO 2. Endodontists are skilled specialists in finding the cause of oral and facial pain that has been difficult to diagnosis.
ENDODONTISTS ARE EXPERTS IN PAIN MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENTS THAT ARE LESS INVASIVE. They use specialized techniques to ensure comfort during their treatments AND they are adept at minimizing tooth pain after their root canal procedure when the pulp infection or inflammation heals.
ENDODONTISTS USE CUTTING-EDGE SPECIALTY TECHNOLOGIES. Endodontists use the most advanced materials and equipment designed specifically to treat tooth pain, perform root canal treatment and make the experience more comfortable and successful. Some examples of technology: Digital radiographs and 3-D imaging allow endodontists to take detailed pictures of tiny tooth anatomy to better see the root canals and any related infections. Endodontists use dental operating microscopes to better see inside the root canals to thoroughly treat them.
