9:00am - 12:00nn
Doctors and Staff Joint Session | 3 CEUs

"Style'n & Profile'n" - Exceptional Compliance  Dr. Gerald S. Samson

It's 3:45pm on a busy Wednesday. You've had "better days".  The telltale echo of loud voices, white knuckles and "looks that could paralyze" betray a less than perfect afternoon. Hopefully, tomorrow everyone will enjoy a more pleasant experience at the office.  We recognize that various situations require alterations in our own conduct and the conduct of others.  Behavior mangement is both a learned skill and an intuitive talent.  It's a varied and cross cultural art that applies to patients, parents, staff members, families and doctors.  Perhaps most essential is the rational management of our own behavior.  Certainly, these self-management skiills are an essential ingredient for professional success and sustained personal happiness.

Designed for both staff and interested doctors, this presentation will take an entertaining and educational look at achieving these goals.  Participants are assured of a motivating, provocative and entertaining clinical experience.

"Best Face Forward:" Orthodontic Mechanics and Dentofacial Esthetic Balance  Dr. Gerald S. Samson

It's 2010 and the public view of ideal dental/facial esthetic balance has changed.  People no longer consider well aligned but upright maxillary anterior teeth as desirable. It's an "old" look that's not considered flattering.  Today, the demand is for well aligned, larger, whiter, "fuller" smiles that convey charisma, health, success and the nonverbal esthetics of confidence and prosperity - a smile that's got "bling" but is just short of "Bling, Bling."

This begs the question as to how modern orthodontics and treatment planning will meet public demand without allowing the public to dictate treatment that falls below the standard of care.
