Virtual Learning During COVID-19 Closure

Over the past month we have all had to learn new ways to live and work differently. While many of our patients are doing virtual learning at home, we are taking this time away from the office to do some virtual learning too! In past years during the Spring we been able to continue our education by traveling to the American Association of Orthodontics Annual Session in locations such as Orlando and Washington DC. Unfortunately, this year the session has been canceled due to the Covid-19 virus. We are not going to let that keep us from learning! We have taken this time away from the office to watch webinars and do online training to stay up to date on all aspects of orthodontics (HIPAA, new bonding processes, treatment coordination with our patients and the future role of teledentistry).  On our weekly office Zoom meetings we have been able to share with each other what we have learned from the webinars as well as keep in touch with one another.  We have been completing more training in Infection Control and particularly discussing new protocols for the office when we are able to reopen. We are all dedicated to ensuring the safety of our patients, their families and ourselves. Stay well everyone!
