The days of marketing your practice through esthetic dentistry may be over or a losing battle. Research shows that over twenty five percent of the dental population do not visit a dentist on a regular basis out of fear. They may be afraid of the injection, the sound of the drill or the anticipated pain associated with a dental procedure. This CE webinar is designed for the entire dental team, specialists and practitioners with all levels of experience. I will discuss the unique problems or concerns associated with treating anxious patients. We will cover local anesthesia, non-pharmacological and pharmacological ways to manage your patients. In order to treat this unique population the provider must understand the unique challenges they present. My practice was dedicated to treating the anxious patient and over the past 42 years I've developed systems to treat this under served group of dental patients.

Until recently, Dr. Sarah Winter, who runs a cosmetic focused practice in La Jolla CA, used two different composite systems for her direct restorative cases. She used a micro-filled composite for her anterior cases for high polishability and a bulk fill for her posterior cases which provided lots of strength. But recently, she found one material that actually does both, offering strength and esthetics. According to Dr. Winter, this newer material has made her life and her staff's a whole lot easier.
