The Best of Cosmetic Dentistry

All this week I am attending the 25th annual session of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. It is the world's largest organization for cosmetic dentistry. I had the good fortune to be invited to serve as a New Member Concierge. This is a huge group, but what continues to impress me is the spirit of mentorship. In the past, I have enjoyed mentoring graduating dentists from The University of Colorado School of Dentistry.

The thought of the morning is that it is important to be involved in teaching in your field. For me, mentoring allows me these things:

Share some hard earned lessons, maybe someone else can benefit from what I have learned along the way.
Encourage those younger in the field. Face it, ANY new career is hard at first. It takes nothing away from me to encourage a younger colleague.
Being involved in giving back information causes me to be a better teacher and communicator.
It gives me a good barometer of the successes I've had and illuminates areas where I can still get better.

As each year passes, Cosmetic Dentistry continues to offer more options and create more natural results. Every year, advancements in cosmetic procedures offer the power of a beautiful smile to more and more people. EVERYONE notices your smile. I am proud to be involved in an organization that impacts people daily.

I look forward to bringing you the latest advancements in cosmetic dentistry through the week!
