Art of the Smile – Dr. Jonathan Levine

 

How do we want to live our lives? Why do we do what we do? Are we satisfied with the direction of our professional and our personal lives? [show_more more=”Read more” less=”Read less”] We have a choice- to live a life that is filled with personal and professional satisfaction or live a life that reacts to situations without vision or strategies and take on a mindset of survival. We had the choice to just try to survive through it all in a state of denial and panic or take a more proactive approach and reinvent ourselves and our strategies in the face of this new challenge. Fear can become an opportunity not a threat and the choice is ours, “ Expression vs. Depression”

 

In the Art of the Smile presentation, we will explore this mindset of a purpose filled life, one that drives satisfaction in our personal lives and careers. We have the opportunity to be the best versions of ourselves and bring the joy to our patients, our team, and our family and friends and ultimately, to ourselves for a more fulfilling satisfied life. We can take the path to thrive predicated on a mindset of creativity and positivity. Together, we will explore the daily tools we can use to help us get there.

Breath: What Every Dental Professional Needs to Know – James Nestor

 

There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. [show_more more=”Read more” less=”Read less”] Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. This sounds impossible, but it’s true. Snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, allergies, and even autoimmune diseases are among the most prevalent diseases in the modern world, and all of them can be either exacerbated, or sometimes caused, by poor breathing.

 

Thankfully, acclaimed author and journalist James Nestor has spent the last decade trying to figure out where we all went wrong and how we can fix it. In this eye-opening talk, he condenses years of on-the-ground research, found in the unlikeliest of places (think ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, and New Jersey choir schools) into a cohesive strategy for how to improve our breathing, and therefore our life. Packed with groundbreaking information ideal for sharing with dental professionals and their patients, Nestor’s talk shows us what breathing does for our physical and mental well-being, and how we can do it better as a care-giver and as a patient.

Body Language behind a Mask – Vanessa Van Edwards

Ideal with all dental professionals connecting with patients.
