The new normal in practicing dentistry in
the age of coronavirus has posed challenges
and created stress for the dental
community. I hope most of you are settling
in and figuring out how to make the
best of this unprecedented time. I have
heard many offices are as busy as ever,
which is great news!
North Texas Dentistry is pleased to
present The Dental Specialists as this
issue’s cover feature.
This group of doctors has joined their
talents under one roof to support excellent
patient care and a more fulfilling
professional life. Incorporated in this fabulous
facility are the specialty practices of
endodontist, Dr. Maheeb Jaouni; oral
surgeon, Dr. Robert McNeill; orthodontist,
Dr. Matthew Hill; periodontist,
Dr. Stephanie Ganter Briggs; pediatric
dentist, Dr. Adam Preece and their associate
dentists. This is truly a new look at
‘one-stop shopping’ for the dental patient!
During this crazy time in dentistry, practices
who have had the guidance and
assistance of a talented coach have fared
well. North Texas Dentistry is pleased to
present one of these coaches in a Custom
Profile. Jennifer Surette, Executive Business
Coach and Co-Managing Partner
NTX with Fortune Management shares
her views and programs to help create the
practice of your dreams.
Accurate and current information is vital
during this time. Through this issue’s editorial,
we are pleased to cover additional
COVID-19 topics in infection control,
dental staffing, practice management,
money matters, and practice transitions.
I hope you find these articles helpful.
One more casualty of COVID-19 is the
Southwest Dental Conference 2020. The
DCDS President, Dr. Drew Vanderbrook
and SWDC Chairman, Dr. Elizabeth
Jaynes share this disappointing news in
the update.
In closing, my thoughts and prayers continue
to go out to the North Texas dental
community as each of us personally deal
with the pandemic. Hang in there and
persevere.
Until next time – take care and be well!
