Dental Notes is a collection of tips and advice based on knowledge gained from owning a successful, solo fee-for-service practice for several years. Besides giving general advice, it provides specifics in the practice of dentistry often not learned in a school setting. These tips are presented in a simple, direct form, and are comprehensive for a general dentistry practice. The clinical section describes actions the dentist can take to make different procedures more efficient, safer and less traumatic to the patient. Some of the procedures discussed are exam, different types of fixed restorative treatment, removable prosthodontics, endodontics, periodontics and extractions. Some of the topics discussed in the management section of the book are: dentist-patient relationship; how to hire and manage the dental staff; the duties of the hygienist, front desk person and dental assistant; how to run the dental practice in an efficient and profitable manner. The last couple of chapters contain a few life tips which the author hopes will help the reader to a peaceful life, full of accomplishments in the beautiful field of dentistry. | Dental Notes by G Borges, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
