outside of the practice! This two-day course is designed to inspire and motivate
the entire dental team and accelerate the transition to the Dawson Philosophy

a reality. Discover managing, monitoring and marketing techniques that can

plan for providing exceptional patient care, building a highly profitable private
practice, delivering predictable dentistry and having time for a fabulous life
away from the office.

Dr. Sam Low
Leave traditional root planing behind and move into a new era of periodontal care. Micro-thin ultrasonic instrumentation
decreases fatigue and enhances efficiency with new topical anesthetics and techniques to manage difficult access,
including the pesky furcation! Incorporating power driven instrumentation into the periodontal component of the
practice provides a time effective adjunct to definitive root planing and the deplaquing process of the periodic supportive
maintenance. Enhance your armamentarium in treating today’s initial and recare periodontal patient where surgical
therapy may not be feasible. Take your skills to new heights in providing a synergistic level of care by incorporating a
combination of both manual and ultrasonic instrumentation in tandem with antimicrobials.
