Welcome to Our New Normal
Determining and documenting the new procedures and protocols that should be followed as dentists and staff head back to work in the post-pandemic environment is no easy task.

Here’s an inspiring and moving presentation about Dr Marco Brindis’ patient Gregory Bright, who was convicted of second-degree murder in 1975 based on false testimony and spent almost 28 years in prison before he was exonerated.

Back in Practice
We sat down, virtually these days, of course, to talk with a group of Seattle Study Club members, directors and advisors about the process, experience and surprises they’ve encountered in reopening their practices. The conversation touched on communication tools and strategies, maintaining patient experience, changes to patient flow, and unexpected gifts of mandated quarantine. We ended the conversation by asking each of them to share a piece of advice, trusting you’ll find a tool, approach or philosophy you can implement in your own revised process and delivery of patient care.
