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 - and sometimes 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 and make 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 (ADA) Annual Session or from the Academy of
General Dentistry (AGD) 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, car payments, etc.
In 2005, Dentaltown began its Continuing Education (CE) program 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 then earn credit when you're finished! Our CE courses feature amazing
restorative dentists like Dr. John Nosti and Dr. Lee Ann Brady, educational institutes
like the Pankey Institute and Spear Education, and topics like sleep medicine, Botox,
CEREC instruction and oral pathology. Need some help with practice management?
We have tons of practice management CE from some of the country's top experts.
