Kevin Henry What is a relevant product data source in your mind?

3M ESPE's Keith Haig, the company's director of marketing and professional relations, wrote an interesting blog post on which is more important to the dental consumer -- marketing or data? A company like 3M ESPE spends a great deal of money each year on research, but in the end, does that solid research truly resonate with dental professionals?

Take a look at the blog and see what you think...

Fred Joyal The ABCs of Advertising

Advertising is a profession, and if you’ve heard me speak or read my book, you know that I always suggest hiring a professional to create your advertising.

However, while it’s better to leave the design and creation of your ads to the pros, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t know some basic advertising tips. After all, without an understanding of what makes an ad effective, you’ll have no way of evaluating whether your advertising material should be sent out into the world

Kevin Henry What if the bad guys won?

I'll admit that I'm one of "those people" who root for the bad guys in films.

Batman or the Joker? Give me Heath Ledger or Jack Nicholson any day (Cesar Romero will work as well).

I want the Road Runner to catch the Coyote.

I pull for Plankton to finally get the Krabby Patty formula on SpongeBob Squarepants.

I think that, if she'd just give him a chance, Gaston would win Belle's heart in Beauty & The Beast.

FYI, t… Continue

Kevin Henry A generous outreach from the folks at Salvin Dental Specialties

My friend Teresa Duncan recently forward me a link to an article from the Charlotte Observer that discusses the back-to-school program established by Salvin Dental Specialties. In uncertain economic times, it's nice to see a company not only maintain a program, but actually add to it. It reminded me once again how lucky I am to be a part of such a great industry.

Ted Anibal Bisphenol A (BPA) turns up yet again

Many in the dental field are aware of the concern over Bisphenol A, or BPA, which is a component of certain resin-based dental materials. The concern is that it is among a group of chemicals that act like estrogen in the body, called pseudo-estrogens. Further, BPA is a carcinogen. (Disclaimer: The carcinogenic properties of any substance depends on the dose and frequency of exposure.)

If the inclusion of BPA in dental materials weren't enough to raise (a little) alarm,

Kevin Henry Which do you choose: The fear or the goal?

I recently attended one day of my daughter's basketball camp at Oral Roberts University here in Tulsa. She's 12 and she is a pretty darn good player (yes, I'm her dad but she's also made a couple of all-star teams so I think my pride is justified ... mostly). One of the drills she participated in at the ORU camp was a regular layup drill with a twist ... one of the tallest ORU women's players stood by the basket with her arm extended, making it very tough to shoot a layup as the girls normall

community, most notably Texas dentist Darrell Pruitt, hav

Fred Joyal Setting the Right Atmosphere

I want you to try a little exercise. The next time you walk into your practice, pretend you’re walking into it for the very first time. You’re not a dentist, office manager, hygienist or receptionist; you’re a patient visiting the office for their initial appointment. Look around your waiting room. Does it feel homey, like a family living room, or does it feel clinical? Are your floors swept or vacuumed? Are there toys for young children to play with? Take a look at your operat
