Another incredible experience at the annual California Dental Association convention one of my favorite parts of dentistry is staying at the forefront of innovation so I can continue bringing the best technology, education, and patient care back to my practice.
One of the biggest highlights for me was seeing the advancements from Perimetrics and learning more about their groundbreaking crack detection technology. It was especially inspiring meeting Dr. Cherilyn Sheets innovator, USC Clinical Professor, and co-founder behind this technology. Hearing how her real world frustrations in dentistry helped spark the creation of this innovation was truly powerful.
I also loved taking courses on AI and innovation in dentistry and learning more from Dr Dar Radfar about sleep apnea and airway health something so commonly missed, yet deeply connected to heart attacks, strokes, fatigue, inflammation, and overall systemic health. These conversations are incredibly important because many patients remain undiagnosed for years.
Walking the exhibit floor and seeing the latest technology, diagnostics, materials, and innovations always reminds me how important it is that we as dentists continue learning and evolving for our patients. Dentistry is changing rapidly, and education matters.
And of course… one of the best parts was reconnecting with my amazing dental community and seeing my fellow Guiding Leaders peeps 💙 Plus getting to watch fellow dentist and comedian Dr Brady Smith perform live was definitely a convention highlight 😂
Excited for the future of dentistry, AI, innovation, airway health, and bringing these advances back to patient care.
