From my friend John Fluke’s blog. Like John I am a huge fan of diode lasers and the new NV from Discus looks to me to be a very cost effective and efficient product. I can’t help but remember the first diode I purchased in 1999 for $15,000 it was the size of a small dog and needed to be wheeled from room to room on a cart. Never the less I loved the technology and can not imagine being a dentist today without a diode laser.
Yesterday, I told you about the news of the acquisition of Zap lasers by Discus Dental. That was some interesting news for sure, but I've saved the best for last. Today's post is about the amount of money you can save now by purchasing a soft tissue laser

Many dentists I talk with are hesitant to engage in social media because they fear negative comments. The Mashable article linked below has three case studies on how businesses reacted to potential negative online reviews.
One of the primary bits of advice is to monitor your online presence and have a plan. In my experience dentist rarely do this. I am astonished at the number of negative reviews I find about dentists on Google, Yelp and elsewhere, which I expect the dentist knows nothing about.
For all the praise that brand advertisers have for social media, they must be aware that it’s very much a double-edged sword. ..your customers, it can just as quickly turn on you and your brand.

In my opinion the Nomad hand held x-ray unit is am amazing device. The phone analogy shown above is quite apt. Heavy stuck on the wall with cords or completely portable and battery powered. You decide.
