TDS Logo 600X600Gary’s Dentist & Business Partner, Dr. Paul Nielson, is very serious about dental continuing education. He commits a massive amount of time each year to attending courses that allow him to be up on the latest advances in dentistry. Gary credits Paul’s commitment to continuing education as a critically important element in your practice success. Very early in his career, he directed Paul to take a Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS) course on sedation dentistry which has been one of the best continuing education courses he has ever taken! Attending this course has been a tremendous practice builder for Gary’s practice because it gave Dr. Nielson and the team the skills to deal with fearful patients. Statistically, it has been estimated that 46% of the adult population avoids going to the Dentist because of fear. Founder of DOCS, Dr. Michael Silverman, joins the show to share his amazing depth of knowledge on this important topic.
