Having spent close to 10 years learning and the last 5 years teaching, with Dr. John Kois at the Kois Institute in Seattle, Wa., I’ve become particularly aware of the role science plays in expanding our medical and dental horizons. As John says when talking about what we do as dentists, “show me the science”. [...]

Sometimes they even used “Novocain”. When I was in dental school the philosophy of care was changing and “prevention” was the key word; brush and floss, break up the colonies of bacterial “plaque” before they could [...]

As part of the presentation I talked a little bit about the “Psychology of Beauty” so residents get a better understanding of why the esthetics are so important to the patients they are treating.

According to a recent article in the Harvard Health Letter (Vol 35, Nov 2009), companies like Google are encouraging naps at work. How can this be? Recent sleep studies have shown sleep improves learning, memory and creative thinking. According to [...]

As scientists and clinicians we should be basing our treatment decisions and recommendations on scientific facts and evidence, not hearsay. That’s the basis of evidence based science.
