Welcome to my blog. I am an orthodontist who wants to have a conversation with the people I serve - patients, parents, dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, dental receptionists, and dental lab people - anybody connected with teeth, braces, and health. I guess almost everybody.
I want to teach people about teeth, smiles, braces, and orthodontics, from my view as an orthodontist. And I want to learn from you. I want to know your views and ideas on these things.
If you have ever had to write or even explain something, you soon realize that you learn a lot yourself from doing that. Just putting things down to paper (or computer) teaches you a lot. I am look forward to doing that and learning from the process.
And of course feedback from you will teach me a lot too. This leads to the conversation part - back and forth - learning as we go.
This is my first blog. I don't even have a website quite yet.
NO WEBSITE? No. I love the web - I love the chance to research things - find out about new things etc. etc I have always intended to have a website, but I wanted a unique website that reflected me, and my office. I never wanted a regular website. I am also a bit of a perfectionist - I wanted the perfect website.
Well I finally decided that perfect was going to take forever so now is the time for me to jump off the dock and plunge in - time to get started. In discussing my web presence with the great team I work with, I also realized that a blog is a perfect way to make my website informative and topical. It is the perfect tool to work with my website to have this conversation with you.
Here I am. I am looking forward to this.
