Free Resources for your Practice

"FREE STUFF" CAN BE VERY VALUABLE!

Most of us have learned from experience that “free stuff” is seldom worth much.  “You get what you pay for.” is an oft-quoted axiom---but I want to negate that idea by focusing your attention on free resources for your practice that will, I believe, prove most valuable to you and your practice.  At any time, you can also visit my blog that features weekly posts and a registration to get each post by email. I welcome the use and sharing of this material by any dentist in private practice or in academia. None of it, however, may be reproduced for sale or profit, but you are welcome to use it to improve your practice.  Please also visit our blog for more practice building ideas.

These free resources are offered as a way for me to say “Thank you!” to the hundreds of dentists with whom I have worked personally and the thousands of dentists and staff members who have attended my seminars, read my articles and blogs, used my dental text book chapters, and continue to be loyal Practicon customers. You have allowed me to work with this profession that I love and respect for over 30 years, and I appreciate you!
