Ep. 749 - Why Every GP and Hygienist Should Be Using a Dental Laser

Episode notes

Your practice already owns a laser - so why is it sitting in a closet collecting dust? Dr. Robert Convissar is a pioneer in dental laser technology and one of the foremost authorities on clinical laser application worldwide. One of the first general dentists to incorporate lasers into everyday practice - beginning in 1989 - he brings over four decades of hands-on experience with CO2, diode, Nd:YAG, and erbium wavelengths. He serves as Director of Laser Dentistry at New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens, has authored four textbooks including the landmark Principles and Practice of Laser Dentistry (now in its third edition, with a foreword by Gordon Christensen), and has published more than a dozen peer-reviewed papers translated into eight languages. His clinical work has been featured on NBC-TV News, CBS-TV News, and the WABC Radio Network. In this conversation with Dr. Phil Klein, Dr. Convissar makes the case that the single greatest barrier to laser adoption is not cost - it is the near-universal absence of adequate training.
