I have just attended the current Root-Crown hands-on roadshow event in Exeter in which teaching was provided by not 1 or 2 but 3 specialist dentists giving a huge depth of useful knowledge and advice. Luca, Jon and Mihal have clearly put a lot of time and effort into making this course as useful and powerful as possible.
And we then had an excellent opportunity to practice some of the techniques being taught. This included getting to grips with the wave one gold reciprocating files (something new to me) and then the next steps of Post placement and core buildups. After that there was an intra-oral scanning demo to show how the modern Cerec scanners work. If you have the opportunity to attend this roadshow I would strongly suggest doing so. This course feels like it would cost hundreds of pounds normally yet it is all included in the Dentinal Tubules membership. And that same membership has also already given me many hours of CPD this year, access to thousands of great videos, a fantastic online PDP framework and a local study club meeting regularly. Dhru really is building something great with his vision.

It is rare that I decide just to share the content of others but yesterday I listened to such a great podcast that I have decided to do just that.
Dr Jesse Green hosts the Savvy Dentist podcast and I have enjoyed a lot of his episodes over the past year. The episode I listened to yesterday was about how to generate personal referrals so that you are attracting a steady stream of new patients who trust you and are primed for accepting treatment. It really was excellent. Go here to listen for yourself: http://drjessegreen.com/stacey-brown-randall/ Front cover of the BMJ relates to a recently published randomised control trial showing that Tai Chi can be hugely beneficial for people suffering from fibromyalgia.
Not at all surprising to me and great to see it backed up by a well designed scientific study. http://www.bmj.com/content/360/bmj.k851 It can be very easy for us to become trapped in our modern whirlwind days and forget to take on board enough fluids to prevent slipping into a state of mild dehydration. It seems like this simple common error can affect our mental function.
