Academy of Laser Dentistry's 20th Annual Conference
In February 2013, Dr. Head and team attended the Academy of Laser Dentistry's 20th annual conference and exhibition held in Palm Springs, California. The Academy of Laser Dentistry is an international professional membership association of dental practitioners and supporting organizations dedicated to improving the health and well being of patients through the proper use of laser technology. The Academy actively encourages education and research through its certification programs, publications, meetings and additional activities. Dr. Head and our hygienist Charity, have been members of the Academy of Laser Dentistry since 2011 after completing their standard proficiency exam and certification course. As one of the first dental professionals in this area with CO2 laser technology, it has been an asset in providing minimally invasive care to patients receiving minor surgical procedures and pain reduction treatments including periodontal therapy, extractions/oral surgeries, biopsies and treatments of painful ulcers and cold sores. To find out more about laser therapy, see the laser dentistry link on the home page or give us a call today.

Dr. Head attended the National Meeting of the American Dental Association in San Antonio in October 2014. While at the meeting she visited the manufacturer's exhibits and was able to see and experience the latest in dental technology and innovations in the dental field. She also attended two continuing education courses, one by a world renowned dentist and researcher, who discussed various types of crowns made of different materials and their advantages and disadvantages. A second course entitled "Melting Tooth Syndrome: Treating Erosion and Sensitivity" addressed the effects of the popular sugary drinks (sports drinks, soda, and energy drinks) and their levels of acidity, which contribute to tooth decay and sensitivity. Both courses were interesting, informative and relevant to the day to day practice of dentistry. Dr. Head enjoyed her few days away from the office and will be able to apply the new information she obtained for the benefit of her patients.
