INTRODUCTION: WHAT EVERY DENTIST SHOULD KNOW Even if you don’t place dermal fillers, every dentist should be aware of filler complications that can manifest in the oral cavity.

As almost everyone now knows, you should *never* click on a file emailed to you without first making sure it is authentic. Even then there are risks, but by contacting the people or organization that supposedly sent the file, you can eliminate the majority of that risk. Generally speaking, in the chain of security, the human element is the weakest link.

Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often experience poor oral health as well. Unfortunately, these veterans do not always have access to professional dental care services. The Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) limitations on dental coverage, governed by legislative constraints, leave many veterans without essential services. Despite well-established correlations between oral and mental health, a staggering 85% of American veterans lack dental coverage through the VA.

By: Abe Kasbo The term “Patient Acquisition” doesn’t resonate well with patients; it’s not what they seek or need. Patients aren’t commodities or assets to be obtained. They are people, and dental offices are not Wall Street trading terminals. We shouldn’t view them as mere acquisition targets because that diminishes the entire patient experience, and let’s remember, this noble profession for that matter!
