It’s not uncommon for those of us who are looking to hire a new office manager to have some questions. For instance, how do you find this person? What should you pay them? And once you hire someone, what is the typical training you should be giving them and, of course, what is the best way to ensure that your new office manager stays with you and isn’t tempted to look around for another opportunity, potentially at a dental office right down the road? This episode addresses these questions and more so stay tuned!

What’s interesting about root resorption is that it utilizes our own soft tissue cells to work against us, initiates its attack against the tooth from the inside out and from the outside in. In this podcast, presented by Endodontist Dr. Phil Klein, we’ll learn about this insidious process and hopefully we’ll get a better understanding of the fundamentals behind the different types of root resorption. By doing so, we as clinicians, can sharpen our diagnostic skills and optimally manage these conditions on a case by case basis.

So picture this: you're in your operatory in the middle of a restorative case on a Friday afternoon and your staff member comes in and says your 10 yo patient Johnnie, just fell off of his skateboard and knocked out his upper right central incisor. The Mother is pretty stressed out and she's waiting for you to come to the phone. So the question is, as a GP, are you prepared to handle this case in the best possible way? In this episode we'll review the basics on how to handle the avulsed permanent tooth with complete apex formation. In a future podcast, I'll talk about avulsion of permanent teeth that have incomplete apex formation.
