Excited to be at AGD 2024 Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I’m committed to sharpening my skills and improving treatments, and will be taking 15 hours of hands-on dental continuing education. It’s also a great opportunity to try preview some new dental products.

I was fortunate to have the best role model growing up, and here I am, a second generation, Northwetern-trained dentist doing what I love.

I just spent two days at Dentsply Sirona Academy in Charlotte, NC learning advanced techniques to handle root canal complication and redos.

Many patients have root canal complications - difficult to access teeth, twisted roots or reinfected, old root canals - that their general dentist can’t or won’t treat, and has to refer them to a specialist. Referrals can be slow moving, which is not what you want when you’re in a lot of pain.

Call me crazy but I’ll do whatever I can to get patients the relief they need as quickly as possible, and back to their normal selves again.
