The E and M Positions of the Dentist

Have you ever been planning a smile (this could be a complete denture or some veneers!) and thought 'where do I begin'? Planning aesthetic dentistry involves more than just the teeth. A great smile is 'facially driven' - where do the teeth sit in relation to the face?Today we are joined by Dr. Josh Rowley to share the four rules of planning Aesthetic Dentistry (you will love them). https://youtu.be/2jbfK2WU1e4 The Protrusive Dental Pearl: Don't start complex/comprehensive treatment on someone who is not sure or not motivated.

I mean, this patient that might be looking at ortho might be looking at a rehab, who's paying for that? Chances are you. So for two minutes screen that you can do. And once you get good at it, it's, it's really, really quick. Just to buy yourself that peace of mind and being able to inform the patient and gain proper consent when you're restoring the terminal tooth or maybe the one in front. That two minutes is worth it in my opinion. Jaz's Introduction:The first rule of planning Aesthetic Dentistry is so key that everything about the smile just falls into place from this very first rule. I've got Dr. Josh Rowley today to share the four rules of planning Aesthetic Dentistry. Hello Protruserati, I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to your favorite dental podcast. It's been a crazy few weeks for Team protrusive. Just few weeks ago, we hosted Lincoln Harris live in London for his famous destress dental lecture. And let me tell you, this was a MASTERCLASS in theatrics, comedy, dental comedy, and public speaking. It was just a PHENOMENAL lecture. And I've actually got his slides on my desktop, and for eight hours that we spoke for seven hours, right. And he only had like 38 slides. This is a sign of a phenomenal speaker. He barely looked at slides, yes, so much conviction in his message. And the lessons he shared was so real, well, a lot of big, bigger picture communication type stuff to reduce our stress in dentistry and a few slides here and there and then delving deeper into it. It was just, such an engaging lecture. There's very few people I think, can hold and captivate an audience for six hours during the day and you learn so much at the same time. It's just absolutely brilliant. So, hats off to you Linc for that. And I met so many of you for the first time it was great to connect with the Protruserati. Safina came all the way from Northern Ireland. She's a dental student, it was great that you made that trip. She's part of our telegram group. So Safina, a personal thank you for, for coming out that way on a day where there were so many train strikes from around the UK. So, thank you so much. And a shout out I mean, I can't shout out all of you. There's like so many I met for the first time. It was to privilege but a shout out Sagar Patel. Sagar is someone who told me a story. When he met me, he said that the influence that protrusive had on him was so big. And the protrusive dental community Facebook group helped him to connect with his now principal. And he's in a good place and happy environment. And that just made me feel so warm and fuzzy and happy. And in fact, we've been connecting and exchanging messages on Facebook. And then we had this photo that we took together, and he said, 'May I owe my whole inspiration of dentistry back ...
