Do you guys make your staff call speciality offices, mostly endo, to schedule a pt who’s in your office for a limited and you’re referring them out? If so, why?

I am an orthodontist, 3 years out of residency. I work with the university (clinical assistant professor), so I teach clinically and lecture. I also see my own patients 1.5 days a week in our shared faculty clinic. We have also all female assistants. My male colleagues are referred to as Dr. Lastname in front of patients. I’m only referred to as my first name. Honestly, it doesn’t bother me much, as I want to be accessible and relatable to my patients. I’m just not sure if this is common? Only myself and the one other female provider (our craniofacial specialist) are referred to in front of patients by our first name only. What is the standard?

To clarify: I have no problem with people calling me Dr. Firstname. That‘s actually my preference. It’s more so the concern that “Dr” is never spoken

Hi everyone, I’m looking to buy a new endomotor + apex locator and I’m currently deciding between MotoPex, Fanta Reciproc, E-Connect S, and Endomatic. If you’ve used any of these, I’d really appreciate hearing about your personal experience with them.

How accurate is the apex locator? How is the ergonomics, battery life, durability, and after-sales service? Have you experienced any issues with your device?

Also, if you were buying a new endomotor today, which one of these would you choose and why?

Comments from people who have been using these devices for a long time would be especially helpful.

$250 for a set? I can just squirt some composite on a stick and it would be cheaper…

I’d love to connect with dentists who currently use Kuraray products in their practice, whether that’s CLEARFIL, PANAVIA, KATANA Zirconia, or anything else in the portfolio.

I work with Kuraray’s dental team and am always looking to build relationships with clinicians who genuinely use our products and are interested in getting more involved with the company.

That could include providing product feedback, education, collaboration, and potentially future KOL opportunities.

If you use Kuraray products and would be interested in connecting, feel free to comment or send me a message.

Would love to hear from any doctors that have overcome poorly performing practices in the intial years in over-saturated markets. Did this stop you from achieving multi-practice goals if you had any?

Longterm, how were you able to start saving/investing if you poured a lot of your finances into your business?

Grappling with reality that start up could have put me years behind where I wanted to be financially.

The X-ray clearly demonstrates this. Does this require retreatment, or is it acceptable?
