		<description><![CDATA[The next time your patient makes a yuck face at you with the accusation that the stuff that just hit their tongue has the most awful flavor EVER, you need to be sure and come back to this blog to share your experience so that your offending dental material can be rated accordingly.

		<title>Anesthesia buffering: Onpharma&#8217;s Onset</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After all the buzz in the past two years about a new type of carpule that also starts with an &#8220;O,&#8221; you may think you&#8217;ve seen this product before. In one sense it&#8217;s similar: it must be used in conjunction with your regular anesthetic instead of as an anesthesia alternative.  What&#8217;s more exciting is that [...]]]></description>

		<title>To juice or papoose is the question</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No one likes the idea of seeing a child being restrained. Especially not at the dental office. But on the same hand, if a child is admitted to a hospital, has thousands of dollars spent to knock them out with potentially risky gas, and is in need of a procedure that takes only minutes to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dentistry: Sexier than you think?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Working in the dental industry, you can expect your fair share of stress, headaches and professional challenges, but it&#8217;s unlikely that your office has an atmosphere that could accurately be described as “sexually charged,” right? Dentists may be many things to many people, but few would call them “sexy” – until now. Word broke in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dental Infection Control Sucks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So maybe it was the equipment allowing backflow into patients mouths during extractions (blecch), or inadequate sterilization measures, but whatever the case, Hepatitis B has been officially contracted during dental procedures. A free, volunteer-staffed program offered at a West Virginia high school found that three patients and two clinicians came down with Hepatitis B viruses [...]]]></description>

		<title>What music goes with teeth whitening?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This company knows better than to show what a person looks like wearing cheek retractors. But the bald dude in the tradeshow booth just couldn&#8217;t keep his mouth shut, and so has inadvertently revealed the eerie side of DIY whitening treatments. If the silly little LED lights aren&#8217;t bad enough, the company has solved the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shatner negotiates dental fees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Actually, William Shatner has nothing to do with dentistry. And that&#8217;s a good thing. The familiarity with Priceline&#8217;s marketing is a good place to start, though. Mix in a few thousand medical and dental professionals who are willing to try a similar technique to improve their new patient flow and you&#8217;ve got a website called [...]]]></description>

		<title>Empowering patients to ditch Dental Bling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing worse in the fashion world than being stuck in an outdated trend. Five years ago you would have thought that all the reception rooms of dental offices were filled to capacity because of all the patients demanding that their teeth reflect the times with grills of gold teeth. But that&#8217;s not the case [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slackers win against Invisalign SoupNazis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The idea of dozens of dentists lined up, hoping to have their bowls filled with a ladle of delicious&#8230;.CLEAR PLASTIC IMPRESSIONS&#8230;.is weird. &#8220;NO INVISALIGN FOR YOU!&#8221; screamed the white-coats at Align Technology. Dentists completing less than 10 cases per year were suspended from their accounts, and sent away, bowls empty, furious with the scare-tactic attempt [...]]]></description>

		<title>Texas Hygienists can use lasers &#8211; pew pew!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just so we have this straight: lasers are okay, but needles? Not so much. Texas is a bit behind the times regarding local anesthesia. But the great news is that their state board just recently issued a statement that affirms the legality of laser use by formally trained hygienists for treating periodontal disease that is [...]]]></description>
