Thankful dentist

Kevin Yee

I'm a doc who easily gets into bad positioning when I'm concentrating especially on difficult procedures. This helped me know how to get setup so I can prevent the harmful positions in an easy concise lesson. Thanks again!

It was so great to learn how we should sit and practice every day!! Now I will be intentional and conscious of this every time I sit in my operator chair. I will be recommending this to everyone. Thank you, Stephanie !

I work in an older dental office where all operatories (hygiene & dentist) have the rear delivery system. Thank you so much for discussing this. I absolutely have gotten into bad ergonomic habits by reaching & twisting, as I'm right handed, to grab instruments. This is exactly what has led to my right side mid back pain. Also, very challenging, if not impossible, to get into the 12o'clock or 1'oclock positions. I appreciated your suggestions. The operatory I am in is small, but I will certainly try to rotate the patient chair. Also loved the ideas of getting a seperate roll cart in the operatory to put the instrument cassette on. Or picking up the needed instrument, etc with my left hand & passing to my right (I had started doing that this last week). Thank you for this course. I wanted to take your virtual CE class via CDHA, but completely forgot to register for it.
