Dentaltown CE – Never Stop Learning
by Howard M. Goldstein, DMD, Director of Continuing Education
You’re never done learning, especially when you’re a dentist! You have to keep learning otherwise you might as well be extracting teeth with a pair of pliers on the sidewalk outside of Walmart. From techniques to technology, everything changes in this profession – sometimes so fast that it’s hard to keep up – but if you want to provide the best care for your patients and stay engaged, you need to keep up with the cutting edge. There are things I learned in dental school that I haven’t done in more than a decade because something new overtook it. Sure, learning new things is required to maintain your license, but even more important, learning something new can save your patients money, time and pain while simultaneously making your practice more profitable. Learning something new and then implementing it in your practice is what makes dentistry exciting!

Chances are you’ve already attended some dental seminars, maybe at the American Dental Association Annual Session, or one from the Academy of General Dentistry or your local state association. It takes a lot of time and resources to travel to those shows and seminars, and you’re entering the profession during a time of economic uncertainty. It pays to work as many days during the week as you can, especially when you’re trying to pay off your overwhelming student loans, mortgages and car payments, etc.

In 2005, Dentaltown began its Continuing Education department with the goal of providing outstanding online educational content at an affordable price. On Dentaltown.com, you can take top-notch courses on topics ranging from oral surgery, to practice management to endodontics – while sitting on your couch in your underwear – and earn credit when you’re finished!
