Sharing & Stargazing



Our busy days at Absolute Dental means that time flies by and we do not always have the chance to catch up with colleagues to find out what they have been up to .....professionally or otherwise. So it is always great to have an excuse to meet together after work to talk and share. We learn from each other and support each other too.

On Monday, we gathered a little group in The Crabshell Inn in Kingsbridge for our Spring Clinicians Meeting, at a quiet table overlooking the lovely estuary. We each had a short slot to present a treatment or case or dental subject of interest, and then to discuss with our colleagues.


We covered many areas including Inman Aligner (Rhod) Splinting and treatment of teeth following trauma (Ruth). How to successfully manage a very fearful patient who required help to return her gums to health (Rachel, our enthusiastic Therapist). How a combined effort by Maureen (our understanding and gentle hygienist) and Rhod had re stored a patients dental health so that he was able to have implants. How Bill managed a patient referred by Ruth to save his molar tooth by calling on his vast experience in Periodontology and Restoration.


So we packed a lot into our little rendezvous and left the Crabshell feeling altogether more informed. We finished up outside as we said goodbye, with a little glance skywards where Bill , our own Patrick Moore, was able to give us a brief overview of the Kingsbridge constellation. He is truly a man of many talents.
