Do you know a technician that just started? Working in the model room or opaquing crowns? That person could be the next CEO of a global network of labs. We welcome Laura Kelly who had a similar story. She started at Microdental Laboratories (https://www.microdental.com/) not knowing what a dental lab was and has worked hard to become it's CEO. Along they way she became the first female and the first technician to be the president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) (https://aacd.com/) and owned her own lab that grew to be purchased by another lab group. She talks about what MicroDental stands for, how they dealt with the pandemic shutdown, and how they came out of it strong.

Dr. Michelle Lee delivers a presentation on an array of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), the problems they cause for Dr. Lee's patients, and how different appliances can offer therapeutic solutions. Different facial muscles are affected by TMD and that in turn causes breathing problems, general and localized pain, and issues with biting and chewing. This is both therapeutic and diagnostic, and we need to treat it as such. The “why” of TMD treatment includes understanding and prioritizing muscle comfort, occlusion stability, and a free airway. Anterior (muscle) deprogrammers are a diagnostic tool and they can help correct some bite problems. Dr. Lee explains some of the risks involved with anterior only therapy and reviews the functions (and key symptoms) of the muscles of the face: the temporalis, the masseter, the digastric muscles, and the plerygoid muscles. Dr. Lee describes a patient named Emmy who suffered from a lot of pain in her back and neck, problems with posture, and mouth breathing. The science behind mouth breathing and how it can negatively affect facial development and healthy sleep are truly connected. Bite splints should fit properly or patients will play with them too much. A high resolution pulse oximeter can also be used to check for sleep apnea problems. She also shares a personal story of her six-year-old son, Nathan, and how his deep bite and tongue tie affected his sleep breathing and general development—UARS (Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome). Pankey's Cross of Dentistry: Know Yourself Know Your Patient Know Your Work Apply Your Knowledge Main Takeaways: You can use Appliance Therapy before, during, and after treatment. (3:30) We need to understand the muscles, the joint, occlusion, and the airway. (9:30) “For every 10 degree change in the angle of disclusion, there is a 30% change in the force applied.” (32:32) “We can be the change we want to see in the world [through our dentistry].” (43:45) “TMD and UARS are more linked than we previously thought.” (54:14). Quotes: “I've been able to stand on the shoulders of giants at the institute.” — Michelle “Do the clench test if you want to determine if your patient has a high anterior only risk.” — Michelle “The timing of the sound of clicks can give us a better understanding of occlusions.” – Michelle “In the war between muscle and teeth, muscle always wins.” – Michelle. “Mouth breathing is not a developmentally good thing.” – Michelle. “I know there's a big pause in our lives, but we can sharpen our skills.” – Michelle. “Start with a little bit of ramp and move up...that's why it's called therapy.” – Michelle. Snippets: How Michelle got into dentistry. (2:00 – 3:30) Michelle's philosophy. (5:00 – 6:00) Why we use TMD appliances in the first place. (8:20–9:40) Emmy's case study. (44:30 – 46:30) Michelle's son Nathan and his UARS. (51:40 –53:30) Bio of Speaker: Dr. Michelle Lee is very proud to provide all aspects of comprehensive dentistry which includes Restorative, Cosmetic, TMD, and Sleep Apnea treatment to the Fleetwood and Berks county areas. Dr. Lee is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine with a one year post graduate General Practice Residency Program at the Abington Memorial Hospital.

“We have so many hats in a dental practice – we’re accountants, we’re CEOs, we’re dentists, we’re friends; there’s so many roles we play and the roles change by the minute,” says Dr. Tanya DeSanto as we continue our discussion about the importance of listening. Join us for more of Dr. DeSanto's thoughts on: How to talk about the life – and health – changing effects of cosmetic dentistry with patients What Mr. Rogers and big data have to do with leadership and dentistry Cosmetic dentistry and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD)

Dr. Adamo Notarantonio may be one of the most accredited cosmetic dentists in the country, but he also has another talent that we’re showcasing on this episode of The Dental Slang Podcast: photography. If you haven’t signed up for one of the COLLIDEoSCOPE photography courses with Adamo and his partner, Dr. Amanda Seay, this podcast just might be the inspiration you need. Adamo discusses the blessing and the curse that is social media and how we, as dentists, can use it to grow our practices. That means learning how to properly use a professional camera and not just relying on our iPhones. Social media is so much more than marketing. As a cosmetic dentist, Adamo sees Instagram as an opportunity to showcase his work and to interact with fellow dentists. He knows how to use lighting to his advantage and how to take the right kinds of photos. Of course, this isn’t a talent he developed overnight. He developed his eye for photography while earning his accreditation—and eventual fellowship—at the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). Studying with the AACD helped make Adamo the kind of dentist and social media guru he is today. The stories he shares with us about what he’s learned, the techniques he’s developed, and what it’s like to mentor dentists following the same path are almost enough to inspire us to head back to our fellowship courses. But what’s truly inspirational is that Adamo has managed to create a dental atmosphere that gets people excited about continuing their education. What prompted Adamo and Amanda to create the COLLIDEoSCOPE series and other cosmetic dentistry courses? They wanted a space where they could be true to themselves. They wanted to teach cosmetic dentistry techniques and procedures genuinely, without a sponsoring company calling the shots. This gives Adamo the opportunity to cover topics not directly related to dentistry, such as social media. Don’t think for one second that dentistry is limited to teeth. Your dental career can take many paths, as Adamo shares with us today, and you never know which skills are going to be most important to your journey. Take some time to listen to today’s episode and consider continuing your own dental education, maybe starting with a course or two on photography. You never know where this path could take you! Some Questions We Discuss What’s the procedure mix at Adamo’s Long Island office? 6:05  What does the accreditation process look like at the AACD? 11:00 Why is it so important to continue your dental education? 17:28 What is Adamo’s favorite camera? 25:50 Why is Adamo’s slang so blunt? 29:40  Where can we sign up for Adamo and Amanda’s courses? 32:25 Resources: Visit our website: www.DentalSlang.com Connect with us on Facebook: Dental Slang Connect with Adamo on Instagram: @adamoelvis Sign up for Dr. Adamo Notarantino and Dr. Amanda Seay’s courses here The Kois Center Dr. Amanda Seay
