Continuing Education:
2010
Dr. Todd and his Team recently attended the American Dental Association in Orlando Florida. They returned this year with a new software program. That will help allow the office to run more efficiently and eventually go paperless in the near future.
As a team, they attended over twenty-one classes on new and existing dental techniques and products. Dr. Todd believes it is our responsibility to our patients to be on the cutting edge of new information and technology so that we are equipped to serve our patients on a daily basis.
2011
In June, our office attended the Pacific Northwest Dental Conference (PNDC) in Seattle, WA. Our entire staff attended a variety of lectures and classes to better ourselves and our practice. A couple girls attended an x-ray class that gave them better techniques in taking digital x-rays. Kris and Kelli attended classes on the 'Connection of Oral Inflammtion and other Systemic Health Issues'. Danita and Dr. Todd attended classes that discussed State the Dental Industry and our ecomony. Overall, as a team we took a total of twenty-five classes! We all came away from the conference with lifted spirits and a little more personal knowledge.
This year Dr. Todd attended the 31st Hawaiian Dental Forum in beautiful Hawaii. He attended many classes and seminars to enhance his overall skills. Some of the classes that he attended covered topics such as: New technologies in Endodontics, Techniques and trends in restorations, the dentist's roll in diagnosis and treatment of sleep disordered breathing, what's good and what's not in restorative materials and behavior management for children.
