Hi, Kate et al:
And one of the best things a young dentist can do to make their selves "fit" and kick start his or her practice is to do something that makes them look different than everyone else.
When we take anyone who is stagnating, starting a new practice, etc and we train them in "Early Diagnosis/Early Intervention Minimally Invasive Preventive Dentistry", which includes the use of Ozone, it will blow the doors off the practice. How effective are these methods in increasing the marketability/visibility of a practice? In the past, I would include a written guarantee that if the dentist would attend our course and incorporate our principles, he/she would see an increase the profitability in the bottom line an excess of $50,000.00 within eighteen months or I would return the tuition of the course to them. Of the hundreds of people who took our courses in the 1990's, there were no takers.
You can also take our practice here in Refugio as an example for what doing "something that makes them look different than everyone else" can do to ensure a successful practice. Google "Refugio, Texas", and look at the demographics. There is absolutely no way a high tech practice can exist in these demographics other than what motivates people to drive (or fly) by dozens of other dentists to find what they can't get elsewhere.
The best way to learn ED/EI MIPD is through immersion. The next available date for one of our immersion trips is November 16-23 in Belize. We will be focusing on ED/EI MIPD specifically in that trip. This will be our the third trip to Belize focusing on ED/EI MIPD. At this point, we have the Belizean government entirely behind us, and we will expand the focus of our trips starting next year.
The vast majority of mission trips anywhere in the world are strictly triage, going in and putting out the fires. In our MIPD trips, we have to limit the age range from 5-12 year olds because by the time the patients start reaching 14-16 years of age, we are faced with the usual large cavities etc. that come with lack of basic care and the restorative needs begin to consume too much time. We can provide MIPD to five kids in the amount of time it takes to provide "catch up" dentistry to one sixteen year old. (we will provide trips focusing on restorative Biomimetic Dentistry starting in 2014.
How effective are our techniques? Since 1990 ( You read that right: twenty-three years ago) we have been providing a "Professional Lifetime Warranty" on the restorations we placed in the normal posterior permanent teeth that erupt under our care, postdating back to 1983 when we started providing this service (You read that right: three decades ago). The chewing surface of posterior permanent teeth will NOT decay if treated properly upon eruption. That has eliminated 80% of all future dentistry in those kids who were fortunate enough to grow up in this practice here in Refugio, Texas, and now in Belize.
For whatever reason, academia has done everything possible to first stop this threat to traditional dentistry, then everything possible to ignore what will eventually wipe out the need for 80% of today's dentistry. What we needed was an outside study proving what we already knew from our practice here in Refugio, and our trips into Belize have given us the primary data we need. Our first trip was in January of 20012, and we did the follow up in May of 2013. There were approximately 100 kids seen as follow up in May, and very little decay was seen in previously treated teeth or in newly erupted teeth, the same results we have seen from our previous thirty years of practice here in Refugio.
There is no rocket science in what we have accomplished here. 80% of all initial decay results from defects in the chewing surfaces of permanent teeth. Identify these defective areas, and render them harmless. Since you, the dentist, have removed the nidus of the decay, the bacterial colonies growing in the chewing surface of the permanent teeth, you have also removed the source of bacteria to inoculate the smooth surfaces anywhere else in the mouth, and we not only see a reduction in decay in the newly erupted posterior teeth, there is little smooth surface decay elsewhere.
A dentist can attend any number of scheduled symposiums on dentistry promising to teach everything a dentist needs to "learn all about the current techniques in dentistry" and listen to the crickets chirping, or get serious and learn about how to stop 80% of all future dentistry. The patients will beat a path to the door of the dentist doing something different other than traditional "Drill, Fill and Bill" dentistry.
Again, the best way to kick start this journey is through immersion, with the next available opportunity in Belize, November 16, 2013. We will also follow up this mission trip with more in 2014, and other related trips in Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry™. You won't find this opportunity through the IAOHD, ABD, AAOSH, etc.
Pass it on, and
Welcome to the Revolution in Operative Dentistry,
