Staff Training
Posted on April 25th, 2012
We had two presenters at our staff meeting on Friday morning. First Tom Peters from Sullivan Schein Dental did a presentation on Total Health Beyond the Mouth, focusing on the connection between our oral health and our general health. Did you know that periodontal disease in pregnant women is associated with premature low birth weight babies, which causes 20,000 deaths a year in the US.
The second presentation was by Chris Schultz from Zimmer Dental. Chris updated us on the latest advances in dental implants. Zimmer has a new line of trabecular dental implants, made with vaporized tantalum metal. The porosity of the metal allows for better bone attachment.
