Congratulations to Our Dental Hygienists for Attending the Annual Under One Roof Seminar












Lincoln Park, IL (PRWEB) February 19, 2013

Continuing education is extremely important in order to advance in one’s career. Additional college courses and conventions all serve to sharpen an employee’s skill set as well as expose one to new advances in technology and procedure. Westend Dental in Chicago, Illinois strives everyday to bring quality dental care to their community and the one way they do this better than the competition is to keep their staff at their smartest and up to date. One of the educational opportunities that Westend Dental participates in is called the “Under One Roof” seminar.

The RDH Under One Roof seminar is an annual three-day long convention where all dental hygienists in the United States are encouraged to attend. At the convention a participant can attend workshops, lectures, and exhibits where they will learn new dental techniques and processes that have been developed by world-renowned doctors and dentists. This year, Westend Dental sent two hygienists to attend the convention. Amy Konishi and Megan Post, both very good dental hygienists at Westend Dental, learned about many different dental issues that patients should be aware of. Amy learned about “pre-carious lesions.” A pre-carious lesion is a cavity that has begun to form in the enamel of the teeth but is not to the point that would require drilling and filling just yet. Amy also learned that treating the pre-carious lesion with regular baking soda rinsing will help to delay further tooth decay. Also, Amy noted that carbamide peroxide, an ingredient in professional tooth whitening products, will also help to slow the formation of cavities.

In addition to all of the information that Amy brought back to work, Megan also took in information like a sponge and has expanded her knowledge of dental hygiene. While at a workshop that focused on diet and how it affects dental health, Megan learned that eating high protein foods such as seafood, soy, and nuts will actually contribute to strengthening tooth enamel thus decreasing the formation of cavities and tooth decay. Not only that, but diets rich in these proteins will help to promote healthy gums and better overall oral health.

Westend Dental in Chicago, Illinois is now better equipped to provide their clients with improved dental hygiene care thanks to the efforts of Amy and Megan. Because they have chosen to advance their training and education, more residents of Lincoln Park and Chicago will enjoy a positive and comfortable dental experience at Westend Dental.

Want To Get More Patients? New Dental Marketing Websites From IDA Convert Leads














(PRWEB) May 04, 2012

The most effective dental marketing websites do more than just attract visitors – they convert those visitors into patients. The new Web Portals by Internet Dental Alliance, Inc. (IDA) offer dentists turn-key tools to attract targeted visitors, and dozens of ways to convert them into new patients.

One of the reasons well-designed lead generation websites are more effective than brochures at getting new patients is their ability to engage site visitors with interactive content. IDA Portals feature an array of options dentist can use to create a relationship with site visitors and help them feel welcome at your practice and comfortable enough to fill out the online forms to set appointments. One example is the optional “Office Tour” area that lets prospective patients preview the practice.

“We make it super easy for doctors to add customized areas to their New Patient Web Portals,” says dental marketing guru Jim Du Molin, founder of Internet Dental Alliance, Inc. “If you can click and edit, you can add custom features to your IDA dental website in just a few minutes!”

Each Portal can be easily customized with interactive features using the online Control Panel. The “Office Tour” option features a choice of two layouts: a single page or a slideshow displaying office images and captions. Dentists can add, delete and rearrange images and captions however and whenever they like.

“IDA provides a complete online library of video and text tutorials. They walk you step-by-step through the set up of any feature you want to add to your dental website,” adds Du Molin. “That puts doctors in complete control of how they market their practice online.”

Some of the other optional sections doctors can use to customize their IDA Portals include a Smile Gallery, Testimonials, Special Promotions, How to Choose a Dentist, Meet Our Team and many more. Many of the options include stock images and pre-written content doctors can use or edit to save time and launch their dental websites as quickly as possible to generate leads.
