Dentistry Vegas Style!
I cannot believe it has been over a month since I wrote anything on the blog, totally shocking! I am trying to decide if the time has sped by so fast because I am having such a great time or if it is just because I am getting older and I don’t know what it is about time, but the older you get the faster time seems to speed by!
Anyway in my defence I have been in the states, for almost three weeks, first for a conference and then for a course. Yup the Yanks are still the leaders when it comes to cosmetic dentisty which is why I invest so much time and energy in the many trips I take there to learn all the new techniques to make sure our guests do absolutely benefit from the best.
I was in Vegas for the International Federation of Esthetic Dentistry. It is a conference held every 2 years where all the top cosmetic dentists from over the world come together to share experiences and learn. It is really intense, early morning 7am starts. I was moaning one day and had to shut up after talking to a Korean dentist who had travelled twice the distance i did, was more jetlagged than I and was struggling to understand all that was going on because his English wasn’t that great. It reminded me that excellence was a journey and he said he felt just being there was sufficient..nothing more to be said!
It just goes to show that there are Dentists out there from all parts of the world, who are dedicated to doing the best by their patients. You always hear about the bad ones that give the profession a bad name and put many people off, but not the efforts of people like the Korean Dentist who want to prove that the majority are excellent!
