It is a new year and I trust everyone is doing well. Our holiday break was short and hectic, but rewarding. Getting together with the family is what the holidays are all about.

    Happy New Year!

    I wanted to take a moment to let, many of you who do not know, that I am approaching my one year anniversary of teaching at the University of Michigan School of dentistry at Ann Arbor. I accepted a position last February as an adjunct clinical assistant professor. I drive down to the “U” every Friday.  I am currently teaching third and forth year dental students in the clinic. I assign and monitor their progress in doing general dentistry; just like I do every day. It is very rewarding to see their eyes light up when I show them one of my “tricks”. This is my way to give back to my profession I am so passionate about.

    Also, by spending time with other faculty in the school I am exposed to a wealth of information about ongoing research and materials science. It is these bits of wisdom I am able to bring back to my own practice and blend it with my 28 years of experience in order to provide the best patient care possible.

    Best Wishes in the New Year,

    Dr. Scott

A respected nutritionist told me; “It’s not important what you eat between Thanksgiving and Christmas, It’s important what you eat between Christmas and Thanksgiving!”

I have patients who, at the end of their recall visit, thank me for their healthy smiles. I return that we only were in their mouth for one hour every six months. The real hero is the patient! They are the ones who are responsible for their healthy mouth!

So have fun over the holidays and be sure to take care of you mouths.  Take a peek at my enamel destruction chart. It will show you which beverages are the worst and the best.

Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year.
