Everyone okay after Hurricane Irene? Here in NW Philadelphia suburbs we did not have any damage or lose power amazingly. Got a lot of rain.
Anyone hearing about the effects of oxidative stress and its contribution to gum disease, among many others?
Thank you Mike. I never thought of standard of care and optimal care the way Chip Whitney describes it. His description puts it in sharper focus.
Standard of care treats a population. Optimal care treats an individual. This statement from Dr. whitney's first column is very thought provoking, as is the rest of his column. Check it out under "Oral Systemic Links" on the PF homepage
Dr. Charles Whitney's first article in a series of many is now live on PerioFrogz. It is titled, "Reverse Your Path Toward Disease". In it he discusses the difference between standard of care and optimal care, and the importance of shifting from "sick care" to "healthcare". Fascinating stuff! You will find it on the PF homepage under our new section, "Oral-Systemic Links".
Anyone been to the Bale Doneen preceptorship? It is not a cult, it is not quackery, it is optimal care instead of standard of care. It was the most worthwhile educational experience I have had since dental school....truly life changing. Check out their website. The next event is in Chicago on Friday and Saturday August 26 & 27. Please share with PerioFrogz if you have been to one of their courses.
