Week in Review: MLP debate; Ga. hygienist bill; and dental assistant week

Dear DrBicuspid.com Member,

In his latest column, Dr. Benjamin Burris addresses one of the most controversial topics in dentistry today: midlevel providers (MLPs). Dr. Burris strongly advocates for increased access to care in this Second Opinion.

In another Second Opinion, Suzanne Newkirk, RDH, focuses on the advantages that a recently defeated bill in Georgia would have offered to the state's rural and underserved population, and she hopes that the 2017 legislative session brings opportunity.

This week is Dental Assistant Recognition Week, and DrBicuspid.com is pleased to present a column by Darci Barr, educator and expert in dental assisting program design, discussing the evolution of dental assisting skills and how the growth of technology has led to advancements in the profession.

Did you know people supposedly can judge if a person's face is trustworthy or not within a tenth of a second. As Scheduling Institute President Jay Geier writes, this also applies to your reception area and your appearance. He offers three tips to help you reap the rewards of a great first impression.

We're very excited about our upcoming Women in Dentistry conference and about the return of our March Mayhem bracket challenge, which opens on Monday, March 14. We'll be posting regular updates on both in the next weeks.
